A quick and simple iced matcha latte recipe that delivers a creamy, smooth, and refreshing green tea drink perfect for beginners. Uses easy-to-find ingredients and a blending method for frothy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 teaspoons matcha powder (ceremonial or culinary grade)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener (simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 cup ice cubes (about 810 cubes; crushed ice optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure and sift 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder into a small bowl or cup to avoid lumps.
  2. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of cold water over the matcha powder.
  3. Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a bamboo whisk or small regular whisk until fully dissolved and frothy (1-2 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of your preferred sweetener and mix well.
  5. In a tall glass, add 1 cup (240 ml) of milk and about 1 cup of ice cubes.
  6. Pour the whisked matcha mixture over the milk and ice.
  7. Use a small blender or handheld frother to blend everything together for 20-30 seconds to create a creamy, frothy texture.
  8. Taste and adjust sweetness or creaminess by adding more sweetener or milk and blend briefly again if needed.
  9. Serve immediately for best chill and texture.

Notes

Sifting matcha powder is essential to avoid lumps. Use cold water to prevent bitterness. Blending at the end creates a creamy froth. Adjust sweetness to taste. Whole milk or oat milk gives creamier texture; almond milk may separate so shake well before use. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours and stir before drinking. Reheat gently without ice for hot version.
