How To Make A Iced Matcha Latte
Making homemade iced matcha lattes is as simple as gathering a few key ingredients. Each one plays a role in creating the perfect blend of flavors and textures that make this drink truly special:
- Matcha Powder: This is the star of the show, bringing its vibrant green color and earthy sweetness to the mix. Feel free to adjust the amount based on how intense you want the matcha tea flavor to be.
- Milk: This ingredient is responsible for giving the latte its signature creamy texture. You can use any type of milk, including dairy-free options like oat milk.
- Sugar: A touch of sweetness is added to balance out the earthy notes of the matcha. You can also make your latte sugar-free or experiment with other sweeteners like Splenda, honey, or even maple syrup.
- Ice: An essential component that keeps the latte refreshingly cool.
Once you’ve gathered all your ingredients, add the milk, sugar, and matcha powder to a large cup. Next, pour the mixture into your blender.
Now, blend everything together for about 30 seconds or until it’s fully combined. Then pour the creamy green mixture over a glass of ice and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- Better quality matcha powder has a sweeter flavor.
- Use cold milk for a creamier consistency.
- Add a drop of vanilla extra for a touch of aromatic flavor.
- For an indulgent treat, top your iced matcha latte with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of matcha powder.
Can I Make an Iced Matcha Latte Without a Blender?
Yes! You can use a jar with a tight-fitting lid instead. First, add the matcha powder to the jar with about 2 tablespoons of water and then shake it vigorously until the mixture is frothy. Now, add the milk and sugar and shake once again until everything is well combined. Finally, pour the mixture into a glass filled with ice cubes, and your iced matcha latte is ready to enjoy!
What to Serve With an Iced Matcha Latte
Of course, your iced matcha latte is perfect when savored on its own! However, you can also start your day off right by pairing it with a Fruity Yogurt Parfait or a Bran Muffin with Raisins. And you can’t go wrong serving this tasty beverage with some Swedish Pancakes at brunch.
It’s also an excellent midday energizer! When paired with a Granola Bar or some Air Fried Apple Chips it’s sure to give you a boost.
