Transform your ordinary lemonade into an extraordinary fizz with this vibrant and energizing Sparkling Matcha Rose Lemonade! This recipe combines the earthiness of matcha with the delicate floral notes of rosewater, creating a unique and refreshing beverage perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1 tsp matcha powder (high quality ceremonial grade recommended)
2 tbsp hot water
1/2 tsp rosewater
1 cup cold lemonade
Ice cubes, for serving
Sparkling water, to top
Instructions:

Blend the Matcha:

Place the matcha powder in a blender.
Pour in the hot water and blend for 30 seconds, until frothy and smooth. This ensures the matcha is well-dissolved and avoids clumps.
Add Rosewater:

Add the rosewater to the blended matcha and pulse the blender once or twice to combine.
Combine with Lemonade:

Pour the blended matcha mixture into a pitcher.
Add the cold lemonade and stir gently to combine the liquids.
Chill and Prepare to Fizz:

Refrigerate the pitcher of lemonade mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fill glasses with ice cubes.
Sparkling Finish:

Carefully pour the chilled lemonade mixture over the ice cubes, leaving room at the top of the glass.
Slowly top off each glass with sparkling water, creating a beautiful fizzy head.
Tips:

For a stronger matcha flavor, use more matcha powder or add a splash of concentrated matcha.
Adjust the amount of rosewater to your desired level of floral aroma.
For a sweeter drink, add a little honey or simple syrup to the lemonade before combining.
Leftover lemonade can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavors may intensify as the matcha continues to infuse the lemonade.
Enjoy this vibrant and energizing drink as you embrace the sunshine and create lasting memories!
