How to Make Iced Matcha | Quick & Easy Way

It's delicious, makes you feel great and... it's very easy to make!

The Case for Iced Matcha

Super refreshing, silky... but perhaps not that strong in umami.  Iced matcha offers you an incredible different new way to enjoy your tea.

First timers:  please know that the flavour and aftertaste will be very different vs. traditional (hot, whisked) matcha.  We consider that the following variables account for this difference:

- Cooking:  hot water changes your tea leaves, just like boiling broccoli would make it taste different vs. its raw counterpart.

- Extraction:  hot water and whisking extract are more efficient ways of extraction (of compounds from your tea powder) vs. cold water and shaking.

- Taste bud sensitivity:  human taste buds are more sensitive with lukewarm drinks.

Today's Recipe

There are several ways to achieve a good result.  But in the middle of summer, when we all want to be outside, we suggest this very simple method.  

You need:

- Matcha:  2g

- Cold water (or cold sparkling water):  200g

- A thermos, flask or mason jar that has a tight seal (so you won't cover all your friends in matcha)

- A strainer (optional):  this helps to prevent powder clumps and helps the extraction.  If you don't have strainer... shake harder!
