Iced Matcha Latte
Description
This beverage starts with carefully prepared matcha powder, which can be blended directly with milk and sweetener for a smooth consistency or whisked into hot water to dissolve without lumps, then chilled and mixed with milk and ice. Using oat or vanilla almond milk adds subtle sweetness and creaminess that complements the matcha's earthy notes. The sweetness can be adjusted with maple syrup or other liquid sweeteners as preferred.
The chilled drink is served over ice to keep it cool and refreshing. This method highlights matcha’s fresh flavor while offering a creamy mouthfeel from the milk. Optionally, toppings like coconut whipped cream or steamed milk foam can enrich the experience with additional texture and flavor.
Homemade tools like a matcha whisk can ease preparation but are not required; a regular wire whisk can suffice. Ingredient flexibility extends to any milk type and sweetener, allowing customization based on dietary preferences.
Ingredients
Blender Option:
- 1 ½ teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 ½ cups (12 oz) milk I prefer oat milk or vanilla almond milk
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup optional, or another liquid sweetener

Whisk Option:
- ½ cup water at least 110°F, hot
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 cup (8 oz) milk I prefer oat milk or vanilla almond milk
- ice as needed
Instructions
Blender Option:
- Add matcha powder, milk and sweetener of choice (if using) into a high-powered blender and blend until all combined and lump free.
- Pour blended mixture over ice and enjoy!
Whisk Option:
- In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup hot water and matcha powder until it is smooth and lump free. Place the mixture in the fridge to chill until it is no longer warm to the touch, about 10 minutes.

- Fill the rest of the glass with the matcha mixture, stir and enjoy.
Notes
- A matcha whisk simplifies mixing but a regular wire whisk can achieve smooth matcha as well.
- Any milk type works, including whole, 2%, oat, almond, soy, or others.

- Optionally top the latte with whipped cream or steamed milk foam for extra richness, with coconut whipped cream as a flavorful choice.
