This matcha lemonade is the perfect drink to stay cool and energised on hot summer days. Combining zesty lemon, the gentle sweetness of maple syrup and the uplifting power of matcha, it’s refreshing, simple to make, and packed with feel-good benefits.

Ingredients:

• Lemon juice (1 lemon)
• 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or your preferred sweetener)
• Ice cubes
• 2 g (about 1 teaspoon) of organic ceremonial matcha

Method:

1. Squeeze the lemon: In a large glass, squeeze the juice of one fresh lemon.
2. Add the maple syrup: Sweeten with 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, to taste. Stir well so it dissolves.

4. Prepare the matcha: In a small bowl, whisk the matcha with a splash of water until smooth (you can use a whisk, frother or shaker).
5. Assemble: Pour the matcha into the lemon-and-ice glass and stir gently.
6. Garnish: Finish with lemon slices and fresh mint if you like.
