Ingredients
- Blueberry Lavender Syrup – You can use store-bought syrup, but making it from scratch is so simple and easy!
- Still or Sparkling Water – Use regular spring water for refreshing lemonade or sparkling water to make a fizzy sparkling matcha drink.
- Lemon Juice – Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Matcha – Not all matcha are created equal. Use high-quality ceremonial-grade matcha powder for the best taste! Good quality matcha has a vibrant green color and rich umami taste that people are obsessed with. It should never taste too grassy or even dull. I love and trust the matcha from Ippodo!
Tip for Making Good Matcha – When making matcha, the key is to avoid boiling water. Boiling water ruins the flavor of matcha even when you use a high-quality ceremonial-grade matcha. Use 176°F (80°C) water for the best result. After boiling your water, transfer it to an empty cup. It helps cool down hot water to the ideal temperature for matcha making. Then add to matcha to whisk!
How to Make Blueberry Matcha Lemonade
- Add the syrup to a glass and fill it with ice cubes.
- Add water and lemon juice to the glass.
- Sift matcha into a small bowl and pour hot water over it. Whisk vigorously for 15 seconds with a bamboo whisk.
- Pour matcha over the lemonade. Mix well and top with lemon slice and blueberry(optional).
Variations
- Latte – Coffee lover? Add a shot of espresso instead of matcha and swap water for milk. You’ll get a delicious blueberry lavender latte.
