  3. Add in mandarin or orange juice and soda water, then ice.
  4. Stir and pour in matcha preparation, watching the mixture of green with orange.
  5. Sprinkle cinnamon atop. Stir to mix flavors for balance, add more honey if desired, and garnish with basil leaf and mandarin/orange slice or wheel.
