Refreshing Iced Matcha Latte
This is a quick and refreshing way to enjoy a matcha latte when it's warm outside.
What You Need
-
Matcha powder: 4g (about 1–2 teaspoons). Look for one with a bold flavor so it tastes good with milk.
-
Hot water: 40ml (about 3 tablespoons) at 80°C.
-
Milk: 180ml of whatever milk you like. Whole milk is the best!
-
Ice: Enough to fill your glass.
Note on Sweeteners: You do not need to add sugar, syrups, or any artificial sweeteners to this recipe! High-quality matcha already has a rich, naturally smooth, and slightly nutty flavor that tastes amazing on its own with milk. Keeping it sugar-free lets the true flavor of the green tea shine through.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep the Matcha: Sift your matcha powder into a warm, dry bowl. Sifting is important because it gets rid of any lumps.
-
Make the Matcha Base: Pour the hot water over the powder. Whisk it slowly in a circular motion until it is smooth and completely mixed. This creates a strong, concentrated matcha liquid.
-
Fill Your Glass: Fill a large glass with ice and pour in your milk.
-
Combine: Slowly pour your hot matcha over the ice. Pouring it directly onto the ice chills it instantly and creates a cool layered effect.
-
Mix and Drink: Stir it all together and enjoy!
