Iced Matcha Latte Recipe
Make this easy Iced Matcha Latte just like your favorite coffee shop. Matcha is mixed together with cold milk, served over ice.
Servings: 2 glasses of iced matcha tea
Cost: $9
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder sifted
- 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water not boiling
- 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.
Notes
Quick Tips:
Sift the matcha. If you struggle with green clumps of matcha powder floating around your drink, this is what helps prevent that. Sift it directly into your whisking bowl. Whisk the matcha with very little water. You don't want to dilute it before adding the milk. Use about 1-2 tablespoons of water and whisk until it's completely smooth and slightly frothy. A bamboo chasen is great, but a small handheld milk frother works well here too. Chill the matcha concentrate. Don't skip this step if you want to avoid watering down your latte. A few minutes of chilling in the fridge keeps the matcha flavor well balanced when mixed into the milk and ice. Try this fruit version: Strawberry Matcha LatteNutrition
