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

1. Pre-soak your bamboo whisk in hot water to soften and bloom.

2. 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

1. Fill a glass with ice.

2. Pour in 8oz lemonade.

3. 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!
