Iced Matcha Latte - Vibrant green matcha powder is whisked into a smooth paste, then combined with milk and sweetener over ice. This drink offers a clean, grassy flavor with subtle sweetness and caffeine without coffee jitters. It is refreshing, energizing, and packed with antioxidants.
Iced Matcha Latte - I switched to matcha after coffee left me jittery. My first attempts were clumpy and bitter until I learned to sift the powder and use warm (not hot) water. The 5-minute ritual of whisking to a froth is my morning meditation. I love the sustained energy it gives me—no crash, just calm focus. It's become my non-negotiable start to the day.

Ingredients
- 1 tsp culinary-grade matcha powder
- 2 tbsp hot water (not boiling, about 175°F)
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1-2 tbsp simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup
- 1 cup ice
Ingredient Notes:
- Culinary-grade matcha powder Sift matcha to prevent clumps for a smooth latte. Good matcha gives vibrant green color and earthy flavor.
- Hot water Use hot but not boiling water (around 175F). Boiling water can make matcha taste bitter.
- Milk of choice Dairy is creamy, oat milk is sweet and frothy, almond is light. Choose milk based on desired texture and flavor.
- Simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup Sweetener balances matcha bitterness. Start small and adjust to taste for cafe-style matcha latte.
- Ice Use plenty of ice for a cold, refreshing drink. More ice keeps the latte from tasting watered down quickly.
Instructions
-
1Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or directly into your matcha whisking bowl (chawan) to prevent clumps.
-
2Add the hot water (about 175°F) to the matcha. Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), whisk vigorously in a "W" or "M" motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and a frothy layer forms on top, about 30 seconds. Alternatively, shake in a small jar.
-
3Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in the milk of your choice.
-
4Add your preferred sweetener (simple syrup, honey, etc.) to the milk and stir to combine.
-
5Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the milk and ice. It will create a beautiful layered effect.
-
6Stir gently with a straw or long spoon to combine before drinking, or enjoy the layers as they mix naturally.

Serving Suggestions
Serve immediately in a tall glass filled with ice. Use a clear glass to showcase the beautiful layered green color. Provide a straw for mixing and sipping. Garnish with a light dusting of matcha powder on top or a mint sprig for freshness.
How to Store?
Matcha lattes are best served immediately. You can prepare a batch of matcha concentrate (matcha whisked with a small amount of hot water) and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, pour the concentrate over ice and add cold milk. Do not freeze.
