Matcha Lemonade Rezept (Bright, Refreshing, and Not Too Bitter)

Matcha lemonade is one of the easiest warm-weather matcha drinks to make at home. You get citrus brightness, gentle sweetness, and a clean Koffein lift without Milch.

If your matcha often clumps, use this prep first: how to sift matcha.

Zutaten

Ingredient tip: Using a good matcha Pulver helps keep flavour smooth and balanced in this Rezept. (1 serving)

• 1 tsp matcha Pulver (about 2g), sifted
• 60ml hot Wasser (70–80°C)
• 25ml fresh lemon juice
• 1 to 2 tsp honey, agave, or simple syrup
• 180ml cold Wasser or sparkling Wasser
• ice cubes

Method

1. Besen concentrate. Besen matcha with hot Wasser until smooth.
2. Mix lemon base. Stir lemon juice and sweetener in your serving glass.
3. Assemble. Add ice, cold Wasser, and then matcha concentrate.
4. Balance. Adjust sweetness/acidity to taste.

Flavour balance formula

Use this simple ratio as a starting point:

• 1 part lemon juice
• 2 to 3 parts sweetener (liquid, by volume)
• 7 to 8 parts Wasser/sparkling Wasser

If your drink tastes harsh, reduce lemon first before adding extra sweetener.
