Ingredients
Matcha Mixture
- ¼ cup hot water (around 175ºF or 80ºC)
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder (latte grade or ceremonial grade)
Sweetener
- 2-3 teaspoons pure maple syrup
Milk
- 2 cups non-dairy milk (your favorite variety)
Additional
- Ice cubes (as needed for 2 large cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the matcha mixture: Combine the hot water and matcha powder in a bowl or a small pitcher. Whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or an electric frother until the powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and frothy.
- Fill glasses with ice and matcha: Add ice cubes to two large cups. Divide the prepared matcha mixture evenly between the cups, pouring it over the ice to start chilling the beverage.
- Sweeten the latte: Add 2 to 3 teaspoons of pure maple syrup to the matcha in each cup, adjusting the sweetness to your preference. Stir gently to combine.
- Add the milk: Pour 1 cup of your preferred non-dairy milk into each cup. Stir thoroughly to blend all ingredients together.
- Serve and enjoy: Your refreshing Iced Matcha Latte is ready to be enjoyed immediately. Stir again if needed as you drink.
Notes
- Use latte grade or ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor and smoothness.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or substituting with simple syrup if preferred.
- Any non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk works well in this recipe.
- Whisking the matcha well helps prevent lumps and ensures a smooth drink.
- For a frothier latte, use a handheld milk frother or an electric mixer when preparing the matcha mixture.
