Top 10 Matcha Cold Drinks
Picture this: It is a perfect summers day. You’re craving something tasty to sip on to cool you down. This is where Matcha comes in. Why not pick up a refreshing drink that is not only delicious but gives you a boost of energy to get you through the hot season.
If you prefer a classic Iced Matcha, a zesty Matcha Mojito or maybe bubbly sparkling Matcha, we’ve got just the thing to elevate your summer vibes.
Matcha, Matcha, Matcha
Matcha is only more and more popular but did you know that you can use it for more than a Matcha Latte? Summer is the perfect time to try out these cold Matcha recipes and we have a fantastic Matcha for you to use. Our Organic Matcha Cocktail Grade Kagoshima isn’t your usual culinary matcha. In fact, it’s a notch above culinary grade, making it the creme de la creme of Matcha for using as an ingredient. This is owing to the fact that it is a blend of both 1st harvest ceremonial Matcha with 2nd harvest Matcha, whereas most culinary grades are created from the 3rd harvest. What’s the difference? You can find out in our Ultimate Guide to Matcha, but get your inspiration on how to use our Organic Matcha Cocktail Grade Kagoshima below first.
Matcha Summer Spritz
This is the drink to impress all of your friends with at any upcoming summer parties. The tangy sweetness of the Yuzu is a lovely combination with the creaminess of the Matcha making it a perfect drink for the hot months. Make in a long, tall pitcher (like our Grande Teapot) so that there’s plenty to go around.
Iced Jasmine Matcha Sapphire
A fun, visual drink to impress your guests this summer, our Iced Matcha Sapphire is floral and earthy with citrusy notes. Watch the mesmerising blue from the Butterfly Pea flower slowly change to purple thanks to the acidity in the lemon but still keeping its delicate taste. With a splash of our Organic Matcha Cocktail Grade Kagoshima to add the earthiness to it, it’s a beautiful and vibrant drink to sip on during the summer months.
Matcha Mojito
There is no limit to what our favourite versatile Matcha can do. In this beautiful summery Matcha Mojito, our Matcha blends seamlessly with the light flavours of mint and lime and an added twist of any flavoured syrup of your choosing (though we quite like brown sugar too). A delightful experience to savour on warm days whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or lounging by the pool. Make with or without alcohol.
Matcha Sour
Our Organic Matcha Sour Cocktail is perfect for hot summer days with an icy cold base and a cool, foamy top. It’s easy to make, it’s delicious and it’s bound to impress anyone that tries it. With the earthy Matcha of Organic Matcha Cocktail Grade Kagoshima, the zesty lemon and botanical gin, it’s a great way to beat the heat and lift your summer spirits. Garnish with an edible flower and make with or without alcohol.
Matcha Rose Soda
If you’re craving something fizzy, then look no further. A Matcha Rose Soda is a beautiful combination of creamy Matcha with floral notes of rose syrup and a gentle fizz to shake things up. Pour it over ice and garnish with rosemary and lemon slices for an elegant way to stay hydrated.
Iced White Chocolate Matcha Latte
This list wouldn’t be a Top 10 Matcha Cold Drink without the classic Iced Matcha Latte. Delicious, easy to make from home and the best way to start your day. To add a twist, we’ve paired it with sweet and delicious Giffard white chocolate syrup to make it extra indulgent.
Raspberry Matcha Latte
Craving something fun and fruity with a little visual twist? Mix it up with the tartness and sweetness of the raspberries, the earthy taste of Matcha, and the beautiful blue hue of the butterfly pea. It’s refreshing and a treat for the eyes and the taste buds. We simply can’t get enough of it.
Matcha Sparkling Water
Matcha meet sparkles with our easy to make Matcha sparkling water. Made with Organic Matcha Ceremonial Grade Fuji, it’s packed with antioxidants and helps your focus. It has notes of umami and a complex mineral character that can be perfectly paired with sparkling water over ice, or even poured into a glass of medium-dry sparkling white wine.
Matcha Piña Colada
A twist on the classic summer cocktail. This tropical and creamy Piña Colada is combined with our Organic Matcha Cocktail Grade Kagoshima to create a wonderful pairing that will transport your senses to the poolside or beach.
Matcha Bubble Tea
Making bubble tea at home has never been easier. You can either get tapioca balls ready made or create your own if you’re feeling fancy and have time. With chewy tapioca balls, any milk of your choosing and earthy Matcha, this is a fun and tasty twist on the classic superfood drink.
