The Matcha green tea movement seems is exploding with new followers everyday, and we can’t keep up with the delicious recipes that are popping up all over social media. So, we teamed up with Mizuchi Matcha to share matcha recipes, tips and an incredible contest exclusively for The Daily Tea (Did you enter yet? Go ahead and do it now!) throughout the next two weeks.
Mizuchi Matcha offers certified Organic Matcha (by both US and Japanese standards) that is harvested in Kyoto, Japan by the Nagata family. In the Matcha Lemonade Cocktail recipe below they feature their Matcha Lemonade blend (matcha & natural lemon juice powder) with fresh lemon slices, muddled cucumber and premium vodka for a cooling sip that is perfect for summer nights. So give it a shake, and let us know what you think.
