Matcha Lemonade Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 cup water (hot or cold)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, agave syrup, or sugar), to taste
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Matcha: Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl to avoid clumps. Add 2-3 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling, about 175°F or 80°C) and whisk vigorously in a zig-zag motion with a bamboo whisk or small regular whisk until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.
- Add Lemon Juice and Sweetener: Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice and your desired amount of sweetener into the matcha mixture. Stir well until the sweetener is completely dissolved and evenly mixed.
- Mix with Water and Serve: Add the remaining water (cold or at room temperature) to the matcha-lemon mixture and stir thoroughly. If desired, add ice cubes to chill the lemonade before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha powder for best flavor and vibrant color.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preference.
- Do not use boiling water to whisk matcha as it can make it bitter.
- For a sparkling version, substitute still water with sparkling water.
