Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Blueberry Layer

Fresh or frozen blueberries
Honey or maple syrup
Lemon juice
Water

For the Matcha Mixture

Matcha powder
Hot water

For the Fizz

Sparkling water
Ice cubes

For Garnishes

Fresh blueberries
Lemon slice
A dusting of matcha powder

Directions

In a small saucepan, I cook blueberries, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and water over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the berries burst and the mixture thickens. Then I let it cool.
For a smooth texture, I sometimes strain the blueberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
In a small bowl, I whisk matcha powder with hot water (around 175°F) until smooth and frothy.
I fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour in the cooled blueberry mixture, letting it settle at the bottom.
Next, I gently pour the matcha mixture over the back of a spoon to create distinct layers.
I top it off with sparkling water and garnish with blueberries, a lemon slice, and a dusting of matcha powder.

Variations

I like experimenting with this drink depending on the occasion:

I sometimes add almond or coconut milk for a creamy dairy-free twist.
Lemon-flavored sparkling water gives it extra citrus zing.
Doubling the matcha makes it bolder for when I need more of an energy boost.
A splash of vodka or gin turns it into a fun cocktail.
Mixing in raspberries or strawberries alongside blueberries adds more fruity depth.
Chia seeds give it texture and added nutrients.
For a spicy edge, I add ginger juice or a tiny pinch of cayenne.

Storage/Reheating

I usually make the blueberry layer ahead and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. If I want to store it longer, I freeze the puree for up to 3 months and thaw it in the fridge before using. When needed, I gently reheat the puree to bring back the flavor. The fizz and matcha, however, I always prepare fresh—otherwise, I lose the beautiful layers and sparkle.

FAQs

How do I pick the best blueberries?

I always choose blueberries that are plump, firm, and deep blue. Fresh ones work best, but unsweetened frozen berries also do the job.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I make the blueberry layer in advance and store it in the fridge. I only assemble with sparkling water and matcha just before serving to keep it fizzy.

Why does my matcha taste bitter?

If matcha tastes bitter, it usually means the water was too hot. I stick to around 175°F, which keeps the flavor smooth.

Can I freeze the blueberry mixture?

Definitely. I freeze the puree in a container with space for expansion and thaw it in the fridge when I’m ready to use it again.

Is this recipe vegan-friendly?

Yes, if I swap honey for maple syrup and use dairy-free add-ins like almond or coconut milk, it works perfectly for a vegan diet.

Conclusion

The Blueberry Lemon Matcha Fizz is more than just a drink—it’s a refreshing ritual I love coming back to. Its stunning layers make it a showstopper, while its flavor and health benefits keep it a favorite for everyday sipping.
