Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 scoop (approx. 10g) Unflavored Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides
  • 1-2 tablespoons Fresh Yuzu Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fresh Ginger Juice (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Raw Honey or Maple Syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1 cup Sparkling Water (cold)
  • Ice Cubes
  • Thin slice of Yuzu or Lemon/Lime (for garnish, optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare Your Yuzu Juice: Roll the fresh yuzu on a countertop to release juices, slice in half, and extract juice using a citrus juicer.
  2. Prepare Ginger Juice (Optional): Grate fresh ginger, place in a fine-mesh sieve, and press to extract about 1/2 teaspoon of ginger juice.
  3. Combine Base Ingredients: In a tall glass, combine collagen peptides, fresh yuzu juice, optional ginger juice, and optional sweetener.
  4. Dissolve Collagen: Add 2 tablespoons of room temperature water to the base ingredients and vigorously stir until dissolved.
  5. Add Ice: Fill with ice cubes to chill the beverage.
  6. Top with Sparkling Water: Slowly pour 1 cup of cold sparkling water over the mixture and gently stir.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a thin slice of yuzu or a citrus wheel if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For optimal taste, consume immediately after preparation. You can prepare the base mix ahead of time but add sparkling water right before serving.
