DIY or buy? Matcha, Rank, and Stormy. Let's see if this thing's worth $7, or if you should just make it at home. Come on, Kat. Worst, we're gonna crack open a ginger beer. Nonalcoholic, so don't call the cops on us again. Dump that whole mother in into your cup. Best, we're gonna add a half ounce of Earl Grey syrup, which is literally just Earl Grey sugar and better. Really easy to make at home. Next, we're gonna add half of a fresh lime, not that bottled shit, because people can tell, trust me. Matcha. We're gonna add 30 grams of batched matcha or about three grams of matcha powder. For all the new followers, please do not argue with me in the comments about batched matcha. I can't take it anymore. Garnish. Boom. Another garnish. Boom. I'm keeping this thing far away from me because it's spilling, and I'm wearing white. My verdict is in, and this one's super f -ing easy. You can make it in, like, five minutes, so I definitely recommend making it at home. Speaking of home, that's where I'm going right now because it's, like, 9PM. Have fun cleaning up, Cody.
