Instructions
1.Prepare the Green Tea
Start by mixing your pre-made green tea with the desired amount of water. This blend already contains natural sweetness, making it an easy and convenient base for your drink.
2.Add the Sparkling Water
In a glass, add ice cubes and pour in the green tea. Slowly add the unsweetened sparkling water, allowing the bubbles to create a natural effervescence that pairs beautifully with the richness of the tea.
3.Add Lemon Slices
To balance the sweetness and enhance the natural flavors, add one or two slices of fresh lemon to your drink. The lemon not only adds brightness but complements the deep, earthy notes of the matcha.
4.Stir and Enjoy
Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the flavors. With every sip, you’ll experience the harmonious blend of sweetness, citrus, and the subtle bitterness of matcha.

A Simple, Powerful Tradition
This drink is not only delicious but also quick to prepare, making it perfect for busy days or as a special moment of reflection. The health benefits of matcha are well-known, offering antioxidants and promoting mindfulness, much like many traditional herbal remedies.
