How to Brew Iced Matcha Tea

Here is a super easy way to make an iced version of traditional matcha green tea without any fancy matcha tools.

Equipment:

1. Shaker/Bottle
2. Teaspoon ( or Chashaku)
3. Small tea strainer 
4. Small container or cup 
5. Glass

Ingredients:

1. 2g Matcha powder (2 Chashaku spoon or 1 teaspoon)
2. 2 Tablespoon boiled & cooled water (70-80C)
3. 60ml Water (room temp)
4. Ice Cubes

Instructions:

1. Measure 2g of Matcha Green Tea powder with chashaku/spoon and sift it through a tea strainer into a small container or a cup.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water, mix well with the spoon to make a smooth paste. This is a very important step to avoid clumps. You can increase the amount of Matcha if you like stronger matcha.
3. Shift the paste made in 2 into a shaker/bottle. Add 60ml room temperature water into the shaker/bottle, put the lid on and shake it vigorously. Add some ice cubes and shake more. 
4. Pour the matcha mixture into a glass. Iced Matcha is ready!

Notes:

• If you have a traditional Japanese bamboo whisk and a Matcha bowl, you may simply make hot matcha (→follow our Hot Matcha section! ), then add a lot of ice cubes to make it iced Matcha too.
• By adding freshly squeezed lemon juice and dash of honey, you can transform Iced Matcha it into a sweet Matcha Lemonade in no time.
