Iced Matcha Latte
The Iced Matcha Latte offers a chilled green tea drink made by mixing matcha powder with milk—often oat or vanilla almond milk—and optional sweetener, served over ice. The recipe provides two preparation methods: blending all ingredients together or whisking matcha with hot water before combining it with milk and ice. The result is a smooth, slightly grassy latte with a creamy texture and refreshing coolness, suitable for a refreshing beverage any time of day.
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
- ice as needed
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 a glass of your choice with the ice and pour in 1 cup milk and liquid sweetener, if using.
- 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.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more sweetener or vanilla coffee syrup to taste.
- Optionally top the latte with whipped cream or steamed milk foam for extra richness, with coconut whipped cream as a flavorful choice.
