Make My Iced Matcha Latte!

This iced matcha latte is my favorite midday pick-me-up to boost my energy especially when the weather is warm. And on colder days, I skip the ice and just have a warm Matcha Latte. It’s something I order all the time at coffee shops, so I learned to make it at home and probably even better!

What I love about matcha is that it has a unique form of caffeine that can actually give you a sustained release of energy that doesn’t give you the jitters. So while I drink coffee every morning, I personally go for a matcha latte, iced or warm when I feel like a second cup of caffeine.

Happy Cooking!

Iced Matcha Latte Ingredients

Ingredients for recipe in individual containers: matcha powder, vanilla, hot water, ice cubes, oat milk.

Matcha green tea powder: You’ll need just a teaspoon of matcha for this recipe. I recommend using ceremonial grade matcha, which is of the highest quality and has the most delicate flavor.
Milk: I love oat milk in my iced matcha latte, but you can use any type of milk that you like. Soy, almond, and coconut milk are all delicious options.
Honey: Just a touch of honey helps to balance out the bitterness of the matcha. If you don’t want to use honey, you can try agave nectar or even a little bit of sugar or skip it.
Ice: To keep your latte cold.
Water: You’ll need to mix the matcha powder with warm water to make a tea before adding it to the milk.

Strawberry Puree. A layered strawberry matcha latte is sweet, tangy, and super aesthetic especially for Instagram like this Strawberry Matcha Latte that was trending!

Recipe Tips

Make sure to use a frother, electric whisk, or bamboo brush. The key to smooth and delicious matcha is making sure it’s not clumpy because the last thing you want is a sip of powdery green stuff.
Start slowly with the matcha amounts. The recommended serving is one teaspoon. But if you’re apprehensive about the taste, try it with just half a teaspoon to help get used to the taste.
Use high-quality matcha. Not all matcha is created equal! Ceremonial grade matcha is the best quality and has the most delicate flavor. It can be a bit pricey, but it’s worth it if you’re looking for the best iced matcha latte experience.

Recipe Help & FAQs

How do I store iced matcha latte?

It’s best to enjoy an iced matcha latte right when you make it. But in the case you made too much, you can store it in the fridge. You’ll want to keep it separated from the milk until you’re ready to drink it. If the milk and the matcha have already been combined, it will last in the fridge for up to 12 hours. But if you’ve stored them separately, the matcha will last up to 24 hours.

My matcha latte is too strong. What do I do?

If your matcha latte is too strong, you can add more milk or water to dilute it. Remember, if you’re new to matcha, start off with just half a teaspoon and work your way up to one teaspoon.
