Minty Iced Matcha Latte
The Minty Iced Matcha Latte combines matcha powder and fresh mint leaves blended with coconut milk, water, a pitted date, and a pinch of sea salt. This results in a creamy, smooth iced green tea beverage with a cool mint flavor and natural sweetness from the date. Served over ice, it delivers a refreshing balance of grassy matcha and bright mint, ideal for cooling down on warm days with a creamy texture coming from the coconut milk.

- 1/2 cup coconut milk canned, organic is best, light
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
- 1 ¼ tsp matcha powder see our Best Matcha Review for recommended brands // our favorite is Kyoto Dew, quality
- 8-10 average-size mint for super minty matcha, add a bit more // or sub peppermint extract to taste, but we didn’t enjoy it as much, leaves
FOR SERVING
- ice
Instructions
- To a small blender add pitted date, light coconut milk, water, sea salt, matcha powder, and mint leaves. Blend on high until creamy and smooth.
- Taste and add more mint for minty flavor, matcha for tea/grassy flavor, or a bit more date for more sweetness. Blend again to combine.
- Serve over ice and garnish with more fresh mint (optional). Best when fresh. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours (vibrant green hue will fade a bit). Not freezer friendly.

Notes
- Nutrition information provided is an estimate based on using the lower amount of mint leaves.
- Leftover latte can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, although the bright green color may fade.
- For sugar-free versions, substitute the date with stevia to taste.
- Peppermint extract may be used instead of fresh mint leaves, but fresh mint yields a better flavor balance.
