Equipment

  • Matcha whisk

Ingredients
  

  • Milk of your choice dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 2 teaspoons finely sifted matcha green tea powder
  • Ice cubes
  • A small pinch of vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons steaming hot water

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

  • Before anything else, gather all your ingredients and supplies. You will need a whisk (preferably a matcha whisk, but a regular one works too), a bowl, a measuring cup, and a glass for serving.

Step 2: Prepare the Matcha

  • In a bowl, add 2 teaspoons of finely sifted matcha powder. This sifting ensures your drink stays smooth and lump-free. Slowly pour in 1 to 2 tablespoons of steaming hot water. Mix the matcha and water using your whisk, stirring vigorously in a zig-zag pattern until it becomes frothy.

Step 3: Sweeten and Flavor

  • To the matcha mixture, add 1 teaspoon of honey or agave syrup to sweeten. If you want that extra flavor kick, toss in a pinch of vanilla extract. Vigorously mix to combine.

Step 4: Assemble Your Iced Latte

  • Take a tall glass and fill it with ice cubes. Slowly pour in 1 cup of lukewarm milk of your choice over the ice. This helps keep your matcha's vibrant color intact as you add it.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

  • Gently pour the matcha over the milk layer. You can give it a gentle stir to combine—just enough to make it beautiful without losing that lovely separation. Sip and enjoy!

Notes

  •  Choose a high-quality matcha powder: The quality of your matcha can greatly affect the flavor. Opt for something vibrant green and free of fillers.
  •  Experiment with sweetness: If honey or agave isn’t your style, consider maple syrup or a sugar substitute.
  • Temperature matters: Make sure your water isn’t boiling when mixing the matcha; it should be around 175°F for optimal flavor.
  •  Stir, don’t shake: If you prefer a blended drink, use a blender instead of shaking. A few pulses will create a different texture.
  • Save your whisk: Using a bamboo matcha whisk not only improves the quality but adds a traditional touch.
