Description
A creamy, refreshing iced matcha latte made with vibrant green tea powder, milk, and ice. This easy homemade recipe is packed with antioxidants, natural caffeine, and smooth flavors. Perfect for a healthy morning boost or a midday pick-me-up.
Ingredients
🔹 1 teaspoon matcha powder (ceremonial or culinary grade)
🔹 2 ounces hot water (not boiling, ~175°F)
🔹 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy: oat, almond, coconut, or soy)
🔹 Ice cubes
🔹 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (optional) – honey, maple syrup, agave, or vanilla syrup
Instructions
Sift 1 teaspoon matcha powder through a fine-mesh strainer to remove lumps for a smoother texture.
Add 2 ounces of warm water (175°F) to the matcha powder. Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or an electric frother to whisk in a zig-zag motion until frothy and fully dissolved.
Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of honey, maple syrup, or vanilla syrup for extra flavor.
Take a tall glass, fill it with ice cubes, and pour in 1 cup of cold milk (oat, almond, dairy, or coconut milk).
Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the iced milk to create a beautiful layered effect.
Mix well, sip, and enjoy your homemade iced matcha latte!
Notes
✅ For extra creaminess, use oat milk or whole milk.
✅ Want it extra strong? Add 1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder.
✅ Prefer a frothy texture? Cold-foam the milk before pouring it over the ice.
✅ Experiment with flavors – try adding vanilla extract, coconut milk, or cinnamon for a twist!
