Author Notes

Perfect refreshment for a hot summer day. You can also substitute lemon for lime.
Adding a squeeze of citrus juice to your cup of matcha could greatly increase the amount of catechins (antioxidants) available for absorption.
Vitamin C in the citrus juice give staying power to green tea antioxidants after digestion.
Paring matcha with the citrus juice is not just delicious but also very healthy idea which you can adapt in your daily diet. —Rie
