Smash JTea Matcha Recipes

How to Properly Make Matcha

160°F, 30 seconds, zero bitterness—your perfect cup, every time.

Iced Matcha Lemonade

Crisp, refreshing, and summer-ready

Ingredients:

1 scoop (2g) SmashJTea organic matcha
2 oz (60 ml) filtered water at 160°F
6 oz (180 ml) fresh or store-bought lemonade (chilled)
1 cup ice cubes
Optional: ½ tsp honey or simple syrup for extra sweetness
Lemon slice for garnish

Steps:

Sift & Whisk: Place 1 level scoop of SmashJTea organic matcha into a small bowl or mug. Add 2 oz of 160°F water. Whisk vigorously in a “W” or “M” motion for 30–45 seconds until smooth, lump-free, and lightly frothy.
Prepare Glass: Fill a 12–16 oz glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Combine: Pour the chilled lemonade over the ice.
Add Matcha: Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the lemonade. Stir gently with a spoon or straw to combine.
Sweeten (Optional): Taste and stir in honey or syrup if you prefer sweeter.
Garnish & Serve: Add a lemon slice on the rim or float in the drink. Serve immediately with a reusable straw.

Pro Tip: For bolder flavor, double the matcha to 2 scoops (4g) and reduce lemonade to 5 oz. Shake in a cocktail shaker for extra froth!

Matcha Milkshake

Creamy, indulgent, and packed with green energy

Ingredients:

1 scoop (2g) SmashJTea organic matcha
2 oz (60 ml) filtered water at 160°F
1 cup (about 2 large scoops) vanilla ice cream (or frozen banana for dairy-free)
½ cup (120 ml) milk (oat, almond, or dairy)
Optional: 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
Whipped cream and extra matcha dust for topping

Steps:

Dissolve Matcha: Sift 1 level scoop of SmashJTea organic matcha into a small heat-safe bowl. Add 2 oz of 160°F water. Whisk rapidly in a “W” or “M” motion for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and frothy—no clumps.
Blend Base: In a blender, add ice cream, milk, and the whisked matcha mixture.
Sweeten (Optional): Add honey or maple syrup if you want extra sweetness.
Blend: Pulse on low for 10 seconds, then blend on high for 20–30 seconds until thick, creamy, and uniform in color. Scrape sides if needed.
Serve: Pour into a chilled 16 oz glass.
Top: Add a swirl of whipped cream and a light dusting of matcha using a fine sifter.
Enjoy: Serve immediately with a wide straw or spoon—texture thickens quickly.

Pro Tip: For a stronger green kick, use 2 scoops (4g) matcha and reduce milk to ⅓ cup. Freeze leftover matcha mixture in ice cube trays for future shakes!
