How to Make an Iced Matcha Latte (Quick & Easy Recipe)
Craving something cool that isn’t coffee?
Recently, I found my love for matcha after watching a YouTube video of how it’s made. So simple, but mesmerizing. Since then, I’ve been trying all sorts of matcha drinks, from hot to ones with espresso shots.
But now, being summer, I wanted something refreshing that still gives that clean and calm energy boost. That’s how I ended up obsessed with iced matcha lattes.
In this guide, I’ll show you how to make an iced matcha latte that’s creamy, smooth, clump-free and perfect for sunny days and slow mornings. So let’s start brewing!
What Is an Iced Matcha Latte?
Basically, an iced matcha latte is the cool cousin of the hot matcha latte. It’s made by whisking matcha green tea powder with a small amount of cold water until it’s smooth and lump-free, then pouring it over ice and cold milk.
If you prefer, you can try oat milk (preferably the Barista one), which makes it extra creamy. But almond or dairy works just as well.
What about flavor?
You can expect an earthy and slightly sweet flavor with a fresh grassy kick that feels clean. The bright green color isn’t simply for show, either. That’s because of the chlorophyll-rich, shade-grown tea leaves used to make matcha.
Often, you’ll see it served in layers with milk on the bottom and matcha on top.
