Description
A creamy and refreshing iced matcha latte that combines the smooth flavors of vanilla with vibrant green tea for a delightful pick-me-up.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 to 1.5 teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder
- 2 to 3 tablespoons hot water, not boiling
- 1 cup chilled oat milk or your favorite non-dairy milk
- 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or vanilla syrup, to taste
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- Ice, preferably large cubes
- Optional pinch of sea salt to round the sweetness
Instructions
- Sift the matcha into a bowl or jar to remove clumps.
- Pour in hot water and whisk in a zigzag motion for 15 to 20 seconds until it’s smooth and slightly frothy. No whisk? Seal the jar and shake hard.
- Add vanilla and sweetener, then whisk or shake again.
- Fill a chilled glass with ice and pour in the milk.
- Top with the matcha mixture. Give it a gentle swirl to create a marbled look or stir fully if you like it uniform.
- Taste and adjust sweetness. Add a pinch of salt if it tastes flat and you want more depth.
Notes
Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor. Sift the matcha to prevent clumps and shake in a jar if you don’t have a whisk.
