Matcha Lemonade Recipe
Description
The Matcha Lemonade Recipe starts by making a simple syrup where honey is dissolved in half a cup of hot water. Separately, matcha powder is combined with cold water and mixed until it forms a smooth paste, avoiding lumps. These are then combined with fresh lemon juice and the remaining water in a pitcher. Adding ice chills the drink for a refreshing result.
This method ensures the honey fully dissolves and the matcha is evenly incorporated, producing a light green lemonade with gentle sweetness and bright lemon acidity complemented by matcha's vegetal notes. The drink offers a refreshing alternative to typical lemonades, integrating the flavors of green tea.
To avoid any gritty texture, some matcha powders may require straining before mixing. Single servings can be made by adjusting ingredient quantities proportionally.
Ingredients
- 6 cups water divided
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup matcha green tea powder
- ½ cup lemon juice fresh
Instructions
- Start by making the honey simple syrup. Mix together the honey and ½ cup of hot tap water until the honey dissolves.
- Add the matcha and ½ cup of cold water to a cup and mix it until the matcha becomes a paste. See notes.
- Add the matcha paste, honey simple syrup, lemon juice, and the remaining 5 cups of water to a pitcher and stir. Add a few handfuls of ice cubes and stir again.
Notes
- If matcha does not fully dissolve, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve prior to mixing with the lemonade to prevent gritty bits.
- Single servings can be prepared using 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoons matcha, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in the same preparation order.
