What Makes This Recipe So Good
This homemade iced matcha latte is just as good as your favorite coffee shop version. It’s creamy, sweet, and has a strong matcha flavor.It has a natural boost of caffeine, perfect for those much needed pick-me-ups! Matcha contains less caffeine than coffee, though, so if you’re sensitive (or just drinking a glass late in the day) then this might be a good alternative for you.Matcha is high in antioxidants and it touts other health benefits, too, making it a great, healthier option to traditional lattes.It’s a fantastic make–ahead recipe! You can easily double or triple the recipe. Store the pre-made iced matcha latte in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator up to 6 days.
Chef’s Tips
The key to a really good iced matcha latte is using a quality matcha powder. Avoid powders that look olive green or even brown, and choose a light green powder instead. Quality matcha may cost slightly more, but I promise it’s worth it!Matcha has a very strong flavor on its own, so you will definitely want to use a sweetener. I recommend maple syrup, but if you don’t have any (or it doesn’t fit your way of eating), then just use your preferred sweetener, to taste.If you don’t have a blender, you can also whisk together all your ingredients in a glass or bowl. Make sure to whisk all of the clumps out!I prefer dairy milk for this recipe, but if you need a vegan or dairy free iced matcha latte, you can absolutely use non-dairy milks instead. Almond milk and coconut milk would both pair well with the flavor of the matcha.
