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:

1. 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.
2. Prep your glass: Fill a cup with ice and pour in the lemon juice.
3. Mix it all: Pour the matcha mixture into the glass, then top it off with cold water.
4. 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!
