With spring in full swing and summer right around the corner, we’ve got iced tea on our minds! Few iced teas compare to a delicious iced matcha, and what’s better than a matcha iced tea with mint and a hint of lime? This refreshing iced tea takes only a few minutes to make, but is so delicious you’ll be dreaming about it long after it’s gone – we definitely were!
For this recipe, we used our Haru No Ko Ceremonial Grade Matcha, but you can definitely create this same drink with our Grade A Matcha! If you’re wanting to be a little more adventurous, you could even give this recipe a go with Gen Mai Matcha. Yum!!
Whether you choose to use Haru No Ko Ceremonial Grade Matcha or Matcha Grade A, this refreshing iced tea is definitely one you’ll want to make all spring and summer long!

- 2 cups cold filtered water
- 2 tsp. Matcha Grade A
- Ice
- 1 lime, sliced
- Fresh mint leaves
- Scoop and sift Art of Tea Matcha Grade A into a bowl or wide cup.
- Add 4 oz. cold water and whisk until foam appears and the matcha is fully suspended in liquid.
- Add remaining cold water, a squeeze of lime, fresh mint leaves, and ice.
- Stir until fully mixed.
- Serve in a tall glass over ice, garnish with more mint leaves and a lime slice.
- Place the mint leaves in the palm of your hand. Using the other hand, gently tap the leaves to release the oil. (This is a great alternative to muddling the leaves and keeps them whole.)
- If you don't have a matcha whisk available, try a hand held frother or shake vigorously in a cocktail shaker.
- Sweeten to taste with simple syrup or honey.
