Hello, freshness! Matcha is traditionally enjoyed as a ceremonial tea in Japanese culture, bringing a sense of calm while preparing it. But over time, we’ve discovered new ways to enjoy its benefits—like this vibrant, refreshing lemonade! Perfect for hot summer days (or anytime you need a little sunshine in a cup).
Ingredients:
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 teaspoon pure cane sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons matcha powder
- Ice
How to Make It:
- Whisk the matcha: In a bowl, combine matcha, sugar, and hot water. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. Drop in a few ice cubes to cool it down.
- Prep your glass: Fill a cup with ice and pour in the lemon juice.
- Mix it all: Pour the matcha mixture into the glass, then top it off with cold water.
- Boost the flavor: Add a few extra lemon slices, stir, and enjoy!
The combo of matcha’s gentle caffeine boost and the zesty freshness of lemons is unbeatable.
When life gives you matcha, make matcha lemonade!
