All of us love Matcha Green Tea with anything but, this quick and easy Matcha Lemonade is the perfect drink to sip on during hot summer days.
Best of all, matcha lemonade’s pretty easy to make at home, its recipe is super simple, you can get crazy and add something like mint which would be delicious.
In this recipe, I have used golden matcha green tea powder but you can also use flavoured matcha green tea powder or matcha green tea powder.
