Iced Matcha Citrus Quench

1. Whisk the Matcha

1. Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or cup.
2. Add the warm water and whisk vigorously using a small kitchen whisk or an electric milk frother for 20–30 seconds until smooth, completely dissolved, and lightly frothy on top.

2. Build the Citrus Base

1. In your highball glass, add the fresh lemon juice and honey (or simple syrup).
2. Stir well until the honey blends smoothly with the lemon juice.
3. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice cubes.
4. Pour in the sparkling water and give it one gentle stir.

3. Layer and Serve

1. Slowly pour the whisked matcha directly over the ice so it floats gracefully on top, creating an ombre green-to-gold effect.
2. Garnish and enjoy immediately.
