Lavender-Infused Meyer Lemon Matcha Lemonade: A Refreshing & Health-Boosting Drink

by BLeaves Farms ·

There’s something truly special about crafting a drink using fresh ingredients from the garden. Today, I felt inspired to create something unique starting with the treasures from our own grove and herb garden.

We gently picked and juiced ripe Meyer lemons from our tree, their sweetness the result of months of patient nurturing. Then, I wandered to the garden to gather fragrant lavender flowers and leaves, their soothing aroma filling the air. With care, we brewed them into a delicate lavender tea, transforming it into a simple syrup with a touch of sugar.

The result? A beautifully balanced lavender-infused lemonade…but we’re taking it up a notch! Once chilled, we’ll add Japanese matcha, creating a vibrant, antioxidant-rich, and refreshing homemade BLeaves Farms Lavender Matcha Lemonade.

This blend is more than just delicious, it’s packed with health benefits that make every sip even more enjoyable. We’ll teach you how to make your own.

Health Benefits of Lavender, Meyer Lemon & Matcha

Lavender:

✔️ Calming & Stress-Reducing: Lavender is well-known for its soothing effects, helping to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.

Meyer Lemons:

Matcha:

How to Make Lavender-Infused Meyer Lemon Matcha Lemonade

Ingredients:

6 Meyer lemons (freshly picked, if possible!)
3 cups water
½ cup fresh lavender flowers & leaves (or 2 tbsp dried culinary lavender)
½ cup sugar or honey
1 tbsp high-quality matcha powder

Tools You’ll Need:

Viante Electric Kettle with Tea Infuser: Perfect for brewing the lavender tea.
Luukmonde Electric Citrus Juicer: Makes extracting lemon juice quick and easy.
High-Quality Naoki Matcha Powder: Essential for that rich, earthy green tea flavor.
Gallon Storage Pitcher: For storing and serving your refreshing lemonade.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Make the Lavender Tea

Add lavender flowers and leaves to the infuser inside the electric kettle. Add and boil 3 cups of water. This will create your lavender tea.
Allow the tea to steep for 10 minutes.

2. Make the Lavender Simple Syrup

While the tea is warm, stir in ½ cup sugar (or honey) until fully dissolved.
Let the syrup cool to room temperature.

3. Juice the Meyer Lemons

Cut lemons in half and juice them using a juicer or by hand.
Strain to remove any seeds.

4. Combine Ingredients

In a pitcher, mix the lemon juice and lavender tea syrup.
Stir well and refrigerate until chilled.

5. Serve & Enjoy!

Pour your beautifully infused, chilled Lavender Lemonade into a mason jar.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 tbsp matcha powder with a few tablespoons of warm water until smooth.
Pour the matcha into the lemonade and stir gently. Another option is putting the lid on the mason jar, sealing tight, and shaking until the matcha and lemonade are mixed.
Garnish with a sprig of lavender or a lemon slice for a picture-perfect finish!
