This Iced Matcha Latte recipe is a creamy and refreshing beverage. Matcha Lattes can be made hot and cold! If you’re missing your usual iced matcha latte from Starbucks or your neighborhood coffee shop, this recipe is for you! As a result, you’ll be able to make your favorite drink at home!
I love making coffee shop drinks at home. Everything from Iced Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Horchata Coffee to Mint Vanilla Iced Coffee.
In the afternoon, around 3pm, I get SUPER sleepy. I need a pick me up. And that pick me up during warmer weathered months is this: an Iced Matcha Latte.
And in the afternoon when I need a bit of a pick-me-up and know I can’t handle coffee or an espresso beverage (I’ll be up all night), a matcha latte is the perfect go-to.
What is Matcha?
Matcha powder is made up of ground up green tea leaves. Instead of brewing a cup of tea with tea leaves, this is ground up leaves that are dissolved into the warm/hot water. If you ever have the privilege of visiting Kyoto, Japan, be sure to go to a tea house and buy some beautiful matcha green tea powder for the road. The packets make great gifts.
This Matcha Iced Latte couldn’t be simpler. As a result, it’s the perfect thing to make at home!
How to Make Iced Matcha Latte
STEP 1:
You put a few teaspoons of matcha powder in a measuring cup and add a few tablespoons of hot water.
STEP 2:
Whisk it until the matcha has dissolved and then you pour in the remaining water and whisk some more. I transfer it to the fridge or freezer to chill for about 15 minutes.
I know the cooling part is a drag but it helps a whole lot in the end result.
STEP 4:
After the matcha is cooled, add a ridiculous amount of ice to a glass. And then, pour the almond milk (or milk of choice) into the glass and a splash of simple syrup. Lastly, pour in the matcha. As a result, there is unbridled happiness!
I mean…this isn’t really a recipe but more of an idea of inspiration? (I hope…?)

Iced Matcha Latte Recipe
Equipment
- 1 tea kettle
- 1 matcha whisk
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup warm water
- Ice
- Milk of choice, (I used almond milk)
Instructions
- In a measuring cup or bowl, add the matcha powder. Pour in the 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water and whisk until the matcha has fully incorporated into the water. This should create almost a bit of a paste.
- Pour in the remaining 1 cup of water and mix. Transfer to the fridge or freezer to chill for about 15 minutes.
- Fill two glasses full of ice and add your milk of choice so the glass is about 3/4 of the way full. If you like, this is a great time to add any simple syrup. Lastly, pour in the chilled matcha and stir.

I know this is totally random, and I’m not sure if you’re going to see this. But what font do you use? It’s really pretty!
hi! sorry i’m not sure 🙂
its very good I have tried multiple matcha recipes but never liked any of em, thank you!
The best I’ve tried!
I added some maple syrup and it tasted great, thanks for the recipe.
sounds awesome!
I love this recipe! I would also love to know where those glasses are from or if anyone knows where to find similar ones!
ikea you can get those with a lot of varied colors too
Refreshing and healthy. That’s what i need today. Love the matcha flavor.
I love the new pineapple matcha drink at Starbucks and I wanted to make it at home. If you make this recipe then add the pineapple strawberry mio with caffeine in at the end it is really close to the Starbucks drink! I love it!
Will try with cup of hot water. I’ve not used it in trying to make the drink so I’m looking forward to trying this method. Also, coconut milk is a great compliment to matcha.
Just found this picture on pinterest and were curious where it will lead me. So I found your blog and this amazing post. I love matcha latte and can’t wait to try it myself!
lots of love, Miri
I never really thought of Matcha as being basic! lol But I see where you are coming from 🙂 These photos are beautiful and definitely not basic though!
any recommendations for types of simple syrup that pair well?
