Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sugar dissolves into a thick syrup, about 10 minutes. Once done, strain the syrup to remove the strawberry solids and set it aside to cool.
2. Mix the Matcha: In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with the boiling water until it’s fully dissolved and smooth. The matcha should be a vibrant green and free of lumps.

3. Add Tonic Water: Just before serving, pour in the tonic water to give the drink a fizzy finish. Stir gently to incorporate.

4. Combine the Ingredients: In a glass, mix the cooled strawberry syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and prepared matcha. Stir well to combine the flavors.

5. Serve: Fill glasses with ice and pour the Strawberry Matcha Lemonade over the top. For an extra touch, garnish with a strawberry slice or a lemon wedge.
