Sparkling Citrus Matcha Drink Recipe

Sparkling Matcha: Citrus Cooler

Earthy, fizzy, and bright — the citrusy matcha refresher that lifts your vibe.

Flavor Profile

• Earthy: Matcha
• Tangy & Bright: Fresh citrus juice
• Slightly Sweet: Honey or agave
• Fizzy & Fun: Sparkling water

Ingredients

• 1 tsp matcha powder
• 2 tbsp hot water
• ½ cup fresh orange juice (or mix of orange + lemon/lime)
• 1 tsp honey or agave syrup (optional, to taste)
• ½ cup cold sparkling water (plain or citrus-flavored)
• Ice cubes
• Lemon or orange slices (for garnish)
• Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)

Procedure

1. Sift matcha into a small bowl to remove clumps.
2. Add hot water and whisk until frothy using a bamboo whisk or milk frother. This creates a smooth, lump-free base.
3. In a separate cup, mix citrus juice and honey/agave syrup. Stir well.
4. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the citrus juice mixture.
5. Slowly top with sparkling water to keep the fizz.
6. Gently pour the matcha over the back of a spoon to float it over the juice for a layered look.
7. Garnish with a slice of citrus and a few mint leaves.
8. Serve with a straw — stir before sipping or enjoy the visual layers first.
