Ingredients

2 cups filtered water for brewing matcha
2 tablespoons ceremonial grade matcha powder sifted
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice about 4-6 lemons
1/2 cup agave syrup adjust to taste
1 cup sparkling water for fizziness
1 cup ice cubes for serving
1 lemon lemon slices for garnish
1 sprig fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of filtered water to a near boil, then remove from heat and let cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sifted matcha powder with 1/2 cup of the warm water until smooth and frothy, ensuring there are no clumps.
In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice with 1/2 cup of agave syrup. Stir well to dissolve the syrup completely.
Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of filtered water to the lemon mixture, then pour in the prepared matcha tea. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the iced matcha lemonade over the ice. Top each glass with a splash of sparkling water for fizz.
Garnish each glass with lemon slices and a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing finish.

Notes

Tip 1: Sifting the matcha powder helps prevent clumping and ensures a smooth texture.
Tip 2: Make a larger batch and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Variation: Add a splash of coconut water for an added tropical flavor.
