Instructions

In a blender, combine the matcha powder, water, honey (or agave), and lemon juice.
Blend until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the matcha is fully incorporated.
Add a splash of lemon-flavored sparkling water or plain water for a touch of effervescence.
Pour into glasses filled with ice and enjoy your refreshing homemade matcha lemonade.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For a layered café-style presentation, pour the lemonade over ice first, then gently float the prepared matcha on top; stir just before sipping to maintain the vibrant dual-tone effect.
If you prefer a vegan version, swap honey for agave syrup or maple syrup—both pair beautifully with matcha and lemon without overpowering their flavors.
To avoid clumps, sift the matcha powder before whisking and use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a milk frother for a smooth, frothy blend.
Enhance the aroma and complexity by adding a few fresh mint leaves or a splash of yuzu juice for a uniquely Japanese citrus twist.

Expert Tips

Adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking by varying the amount of honey and lemon juice. Taste as you go and find your perfect balance.
For a stronger matcha flavor, use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha. Culinary grade matcha will work, but the flavor will be less vibrant.
Make a large batch of matcha lemonade concentrate and store it in the refrigerator. Simply dilute with water or sparkling water when you're ready to enjoy.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover matcha lemonade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The color may darken slightly over time, but the flavor will remain.
