Pour lemonade and water into a cocktail shaker.
Put lemonade and water first since matcha can easily clump if added in first.
Add matcha and ice.
Cover with the lid and shake at least 10 times.
Pour into a cup.
Top drink with more ice if needed.

To get the lemonade to taste as close to the one used at Starbucks, use Simply Lemonade, which can be found in the refrigerated section of the supermarket.
This recipe uses a sweetened matcha powder to match the flavor of the drink at Starbucks, but you can swap it out with 1 ½ teaspoons of regular unsweetened matcha if you prefer a matcha lemonade that's less sweet.
To make the drink sweeter when using unsweetened matcha, add 1 tablespoon of simple syrup. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can also use a jar with a tight-fitting lid as long as it can fit at least 16 ounces of liquid with space for shaking. Other options include a wide-mouth water bottle or shaker bottle.
