Instructions

  1. Sift ~[2 teaspoons] of @[Ceremonial-Grade Matcha Powder] into a small #[Mixing Bowl] to break up any clumps. Add ~[3 tablespoons] of ![hot water (around 175°F — not boiling, which can make matcha bitter)] and ~[2 tablespoons] of @[Simple Syrup]. Whisk vigorously in a small 'W' or 'M' motion until the @[Matcha Powder] is fully dissolved and slightly frothy with no lumps. Set aside.
  2. Add the fresh @[Lemon Juice], remaining ~[2 tablespoons] of @[Simple Syrup], @[Cold Water], and ~[2 packed cups] of @[Ice] to a #[Blender]. Blend on high for ~[30–45 seconds] until you have a smooth, slushy consistency. Taste and adjust sweetness with more @[Simple Syrup] if needed.
  3. Divide the lemonade slush evenly between two tall glasses. Slowly pour the prepared @[Matcha Powder] mixture over the top of each glass — it will naturally layer on top of the slush for a beautiful two-tone effect. Do not stir yet.
  4. Garnish each glass with a @[Lemon] slice on the rim and a light dusting of @[Matcha Powder] on top if desired. Serve immediately with a straw and stir just before drinking to swirl the @[Matcha Powder] and lemonade together. Enjoy right away for the best slushy texture.
