Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder

  • 2 ounces hot water (about 175°F)

  • 6–8 ounces milk of choice

  • Ice cubes

  • Optional: sweetener to taste

Instructions

  1. Sift the matcha powder into a bowl or cup to remove any clumps.

  2.  Whisk the Matcha: Matcha doesn't dissolve well in cold liquids, so start by whisking 1–2 teaspoons of matcha powder with about ¼ cup of hot water in the bowl until completely smooth and lightly frothy.

  3. Fill Your Glass: Add ice to a tall glass, then pour in your favorite cold milk, filling the glass about three-quarters full.

  4. Allow matcha to cool slightly, then slowly add the matcha to the glass of iced milk.

  5. Give it a little stir.

  6. Sweeten if desired and enjoy.

Tips for the Best Iced Matcha Latte

  • Use high-quality matcha for a smoother, less bitter flavor.

  • Experiment with different types of milk. Oat milk creates a rich, creamy texture, while almond milk offers a lighter option.

  • For a café-style treat, add a touch of vanilla syrup or honey.

Whether you're looking for a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon refresher, an iced matcha latte is a delicious way to enjoy the vibrant flavor and benefits of matcha green tea.
