Description
A simple, creamy iced vanilla matcha latte made with just three ingredients. This energizing drink is faster to make than coffee and tastes like a dessert treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons (4 grams) ceremonial or culinary grade matcha powder
- 1 cup (240ml) cold milk (oat, almond, dairy, or coconut)
- 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) vanilla syrup
- Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon warm water (optional, for making a paste)
Instructions
- Fill a large glass to the top with ice cubes.
- In a shaker bottle or mason jar, add the matcha powder. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of warm water and whisk into a smooth paste to prevent clumps.
- Pour in the cold milk and add the vanilla syrup.
- Seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until frothy and vibrant green.
- Pour the mixture over the ice in the prepared glass.
- Garnish with extra matcha powder or whipped cream if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha. If using dairy milk, whole or 2% provides the creamiest texture. The matcha concentrate can be pre-mixed with water and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
