Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Matcha Base
  • 1 teaspoon Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder Sifted
  • 2 ounces Hot Water Not boiling, around 175°F (80°C)
  • 8 ounces Filtered Water Chilled or room temperature
Flavor & Sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup or Agave Adjust to taste
  • 2-3 cubes Ice Cubes Optional

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or a traditional tea bowl (chawan) to eliminate clumps.
  2. Pour the 2 ounces of hot (but not boiling) water over the sifted matcha. Whisk rapidly using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small electric frother in a swift 'M' or 'W' pattern until a smooth, bright green, frothy layer forms on top.
  3. In a separate tall glass, combine the chilled filtered water, fresh lemon juice, and maple syrup (if using). Stir briefly to mix the sweetener.
  4. Carefully pour the prepared matcha mixture over the lemon-water mixture. If using ice, add it now.
  5. Stir gently to incorporate the layers without destroying too much of the matcha froth. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon tartness as desired.
  6. Serve immediately. A thin slice of lemon can be used as a garnish.

Notes

This drink works best when the matcha is whisked thoroughly first to ensure no gritty texture remains. Adjust the ratio of water to matcha to create a stronger or lighter 'detox' experience.
