Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons culinary-grade matcha powder
- 1 cup hot water (not boiling)
- 1/4 cup dried culinary lavender
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
- 3 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh lavender sprigs for garnish (optional)
- Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1Begin by boiling 1 cup of water and then allow it to cool slightly (to about 175°F/80°C).
- 2In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with the hot water until smooth and fully dissolved. Set aside.
- 3In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- 4Add the dried lavender to the syrup, remove from heat, and let it steep for about 20 minutes to infuse the flavor. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lavender buds.
- 5In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice, matcha mixture, and the lavender syrup. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- 6Add 3 cups of cold water, and stir until fully mixed. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar or water as desired.
- 7Serve in glasses filled with ice cubes, garnished with fresh lavender sprigs and lemon slices.
