Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons culinary-grade matcha green tea powder
  • 1/4 cup hot water 175°F/80°C
  • 1 cup fresh lemonade
  • 1/2 cup cold sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
  • 2 teaspoons simple syrup optional

Method
 

  1. Sift the matcha powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl to remove any lumps.
  2. Pour the hot water over the sifted matcha. Using a bamboo whisk (or small regular whisk), whisk briskly in an “M” shape until the tea is silky and frothy.
  3. Fill two tall glasses with ice.
  4. Divide the lemonade evenly between the glasses, then pour in the matcha mixture.
  5. Top each glass with sparkling water for a gentle effervescence. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Taste and add simple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.
