Cool, refreshing, and beautifully layered, this Matcha Lemonade (Matcha Palmer) is the perfect summer drink! 🍋💚 Frothy matcha meets ice-cold lemonade for a café-style gradient effect that’s as stunning as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 3g matcha powder
- 50g hot water (around 170°F)
- 8oz lemonade
- Ice
Instructions
1. Prep the Matcha
- Pre-soak your bamboo whisk in hot water to soften and bloom.
- In a matcha bowl, combine 3g matcha and 50g hot water. Whisk the matcha in an “M” or “W” motion until frothy.
2. Assemble the Matcha Lemonade
- Fill a glass with ice.
- Pour in 8oz lemonade.
- Slowly pour the matcha over the lemonade using a spoon to create a layered effect.
Why use a spoon when pouring matcha over milk:
Pouring the whisked matcha over a spoon (rather than directly into the cup) slows down the liquid and softens the impact on the milk layer. This helps create a beautiful, layered effect instead of the matcha sinking or mixing too quickly. It’s a simple trick to make your latte look more aesthetic and professional.
With just a few simple steps, you can recreate this layered Matcha Palmer at home. Spoon, pour, and enjoy a refreshing drink that looks amazing and tastes even better—perfect for any sunny day!
