Iced Matcha Lemonade

June 18, 2021

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Cold and refreshing Iced Matcha Lemonade. It is the perfect summer drink. It is a refreshing lemonade made with fresh lemon juice, pure cane sugar, and energy-boosting matcha powder. 

Matcha is one of my favorite drinks. I have a hot matcha tea in my favorite cup every afternoon as a great afternoon pick-me-up, usually with a homemade treat! Normally a sugar cookie or a slice of  Lemon Blueberry Poundcake!

Even though I love a good hot matcha tea in the afternoon, I think I might need to add this Iced Matcha Lemonade to my daily rotation! It is soo delicious and refreshing and perfect for these hot hot summer days.

What is Matcha Powder?

Matcha powder is made from grinding young, tender Japanese green tea leaves into a fine powder. The quality and the color of the matcha powder depends on when the green tea leaves were dried and processed and where the matcha was sourced. The brighter and more vibrant the matcha powder the better. 

Oftentimes, the ceremonial matcha powder is used for drinking. This kind is the most expensive and it is said to be the best quality. 

Culinary matcha powder is often the one used in baking. This quality is often less expensive.

Personally, I find that the ceremonial matcha can oftentimes be overpriced. I bought an expensive organic matcha and an organic culinary matcha and to me, they were pretty much the same. I don’t usually spend more than $15 dollars on a few ounces of my favorite matcha powders. 

What Does Matcha Taste Like? 

Matcha powder has a light earthy taste that can depend on the brand you get- ranging from a light earthy taste to very earthy/grassy tasting. Two of my favorite brands of matcha to drink is: Navitas Organics and Kiss me Organics. These two brands are not too expensive and have a very nice taste to them.

Matcha Powder has many amazing health benefits such as – it is full of antioxidants and vitamins, can help to reduce stress, can provide an energy boost without caffeine jitters, and many others.  Here are two articles you can read if you want to learn more!

How to make An Iced Matcha Lemonade

matcha lemon

Matcha lemonade is super easy to make. 

First, using a lemon juicer, juice your lemons.

  • You can roll your lemons on the counter to help the juice to come out better.
  •  I use fresh lemons for this recipe. I haven’t used pre-squeezed lemon juice before, but I’m sure it will work great as well. 

Next add your lemon juice, matcha powder, and sugar into a mason jar, then whisk together all the ingredients. 

  • I use an electric matcha whisk – I love it because it helps the matcha powder to not get lumps. 

Lastly, add the water, then pour your lemonade over ice. Enjoy!
