A simple tutorial on how to make easy Iced Matcha, also known as cold brew matcha. It's a wonderful summertime (or anytime!) refreshment filled with antioxidants and energy.

This refreshing iced matcha (also known as cold brew matcha) is one of my favorite ways to enjoy matcha green tea on a hot summer day.

Plus it's super easy, and a great change of pace from my usual hot whisked matcha. Not to mention it feels incredibly energizing and revitalizing sipping it outdoors under the warm sunshine.

Ingredients

1 tsp. organic matcha powder (ceremonial grade)
2/3 cup to 1 cup water
Large handful of ice cubes (about 5-6 cubes)

Instructions

Method #1: Cold Brew (Matcha On-the-Go)

In a shaker cup with lid, thoroughly shake 1 tsp. matcha with water and ice cubes. That’s it!
This is great for on-the-go work or play!

Method #2: Whisk Hot Matcha Then Add Ice

Heat water to just under boiling (about 160°F / 71°C). Add 1 tsp. matcha in a matcha bowl (or a soup bowl works great).
Add hot water to matcha. Using a bamboo whisk, whisk very briskly in a straight line back and forth. Continue whisking until you get a nice layer of froth (about 30 seconds).
Carefully transfer matcha to a glass. Add plenty of ice, and enjoy!

Notes

Matcha powder: Be sure to find a good quality organic matcha powder with bright green color.
