Easy Matcha Lemonade Recipe

Matcha lemonade is a great way to start your day off bright. Bright green, that is. This refreshing and sweet iced matcha green tea lemonade is a copycat of Starbucks' favorite that’s similar to the classic Arnold Palmer drink. It’s so easy and takes a few minutes to make!

Notes

  • *How to make homemade lemonade: Place 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Let the sugar dissolve and remove from heat. Make 1/2 cup lemon juice by juicing 2-3 lemons. Pour the juice and the syrup into a jar, then add 1 to 1.5 cups of cold water. Taste, and add more water if necessary.
  • Matcha powder gives your drink a nice green color. You can adjust the amount to make the color lighter or darker.
  • Start with a small amount of sugar, taste, and gradually add more for the perfect subtle touch. Use stevia for a healthy option.
