I've been addicted to kombucha from first sip. It wasn't really the probiotics or other health promises that did it for me — although I'll take those, too! It was the way it tasted: like tart green apple mixed with sour stone fruits, but with an underlying sweetness that keeps it all together. And fizzy! I couldn't believe that something this could actually be made from tea, of all things. Or that I could make it at home with a few very basic ingredients.

I remember it like it was yesterday: I was standing in Whole Foods. "It's cheap!" I said to my husband. "Go ahead and get half a bag full!" What I didn't know then is that one bag of Matcha powder would end up lasting us an entire year. Maybe this recipe for Matcha Tea Lemonade, courtesy of Kelly from Inspired Edibles, will help us finally use it up! More
