Equipment

  • Matcha Whisk (optional)
  • Sifter (optional)

Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon High-Quality Matcha
  • 2 tsps Sugar or Sugar Alternative
  • ¼ cup Warm Water
  • cup Lemon Juice
  • Ice Cubes

Instructions

  • Over a small bowl or measuring cup, use a sifter to add ½ teaspoon of matcha powder to the bowl.
  • Be sure to sift the matcha through to avoid excessive clumps in your lemonade
  • Into the same bowl, though not through the sifter, add 2 teaspoon of sugar or a sugar alternative
  • In a glass measuring cup, heat up ¼ cup of water, or use already warm water
  • Have a matcha whisk, regular whisk, or a fork ready, and slowly pour the warmed water into the bowl with matcha and sugar, whisking vigorously to prevent any clumping. 
  • Add ice to your glass of choice and pour ⅓ cup of lemon juice over the ice
  • Pour the matcha mixture over the top and stir
  • Taste and add more sugar if needed

Notes

  • Please note that this addition will be the only source of sweetness in this drink. If you prefer a sweeter lemonade, I recommend adding 3-4 teaspoon total of sugar. This recipe as is will produce a pretty tart lemonade.
  • If you want to skip the lemon juice and sugar entirely, you can absolutely use pre-made lemonade!
  • As mentioned prior, any sugar or sugar alternative will work here! Honey, agave, and maple syrup should also suffice with the same measurements.
