This is a fun and easy drink to add to your summer repertoire, cool, refreshing with a bit of pep from the Matcha. A great alternative to ice coffee and loaded with lots of vitamin C and antioxidants. This is a fun mocktail option too for your next bbq!
Beverage
Ingredients
1/4 cup
Fresh Lemon Juice
1-2 tsp
Maple Syrup
(adjust to taste)
1 1/2 cups
Cold Water
1 tsp
Matcha Powder
2-3 Tbsp
Hot Water
1 cup
Ice
Instructions
1
In a glass or jar, whisk lemon juice and maple syrup until dissolved, taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Add cold water and stir well.
2
In a small bowl froth together the matcha powder and hot water until the matcha is bright and foamy. This may take a minute or two.
3
Divide the ice and lemonade into two glasses and pour matcha over each. This should create a layer effect. Serve as is or garnish with lemon wedges or mint. Serve right away.

Notes: I suggest sourcing ceremonial grade matcha for the most complementary flavour profile but use what you have available. Feel free to top each drink with ¼ cup of sparkling water to create a sparkling matcha lemonade.
