Our Iced Matcha Latte combines the energizing benefits of matcha powder with the creamy richness of milk, all wrapped up in a sweet and refreshing package that’s perfect for hot summer days or anytime you need a pick-me-up.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons of matcha powder
• 1 1/2 cups of strong brewed green tea, chilled
• 1 1/2 cups of milk (whole, low-fat or nonfat)
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 6 ice cubes
• Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Start by brewing 1 1/2 cups of strong green tea and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and a splash of the chilled green tea until smooth and free of lumps.

In a large pitcher, combine the remaining green tea, milk, sugar, and salt.

Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the matcha mixture to the pitcher and whisk until well combined.

Fill glasses with ice and pour the matcha latte mixture over the ice.

Stir gently and top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Serve immediately and relish!

Notes

Matcha powder can be quite pricey, so if you’re on a budget, consider using a lower-quality matcha for this recipe – it’ll still yield delicious results! Also, make sure to sift your matcha powder before whisking it with the green tea to avoid any lumps. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, or try using honey or agave nectar for a different flavor profile.

If you want a stronger matcha flavor, you can add a little more matcha powder or use less milk.

Experiment with the ratio to find your perfect balance! For an extra-creamy treat, try using half-and-half or heavy cream instead of regular milk. This recipe makes 6 servings, but it’s easy to double or triple the recipe if you need to feed a larger crowd.

Remember to brew your green tea strong, as it’ll help bring out the matcha flavor.

You can also use cold-brew green tea if you prefer a smoother taste.
