Sift the matcha into a chawan, add 2 tablespoons of 175 °F (80 °C) water, and whisk briskly until frothy.
Strain the ginger-yuzu infusion into the matcha, swirl gently, add the yuzu juice, and sweeten with raw honey if desired. Serve immediately.
Cold-brew method: Place ginger slices, yuzu zest, and salt in a 1-liter jar. Whisk matcha with ¼ cup cool water until smooth; pour into the jar.
