If you’re looking for an invigorating (and simple-to-make) morning beverage, look no further than this recipe for Iced Matcha Latte. This delicious drink is perfect for those seeking a refreshing pick-me-up that combines the vibrant flavors of matcha with the creamy texture of milk or coconut milk.
Why This Iced Matcha Latte Recipe is So Good
- Earthy, Creamy, and Sweet – This Iced Matcha Latte offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures that are sure to excite the tastebuds. This is guaranteed to become a new morning routine you’ll love.
- Rich Source Of Antioxidants – The star ingredient, matcha powder, provides numerous health benefits and is packed with antioxidants and amino acids. And coconut milk offers a healthy fat source that helps you feel satiated and full for longer. And if you’re looking for another drink with major health benefits, you’ll love this Homemade Ginger Turmeric Shot recipe.
- Gentle Caffeine Boost – Matcha powder is a natural source of caffeine that provides a calm, gentle feeling of alertness. A serving of matcha contains about 1/6th the amount of caffeine than a standard cup of coffee and is a great alternative if you are more sensitive to caffeine.
- Beautiful Vibrant Green Color – It is said that we “Eat first with our eyes.” Well, if that’s true, then your eyes are in for a real treat. There is no other drink that matches the beauty of the matcha latte.
- Easily Customizable – Feel free to add your own touch to this recipe. We use coconut milk to add creaminess, but whole milk would work great as well. You can also swap out the stevia for maple syrup or agave if you’d like. And if you prefer this drink warm, leave out the ice. This Dirty Chai Latte is another drink that’s perfect for those chilly winter days.
Tips and Tricks for Making This Iced Matcha Latte Recipe
- Try To Use High-Quality Matcha Powder: If possible, use the best matcha powder you can get your hands on, for the best flavor and vibrant green color. You can ensure that it’s fresh and free from clumps by sifting it before use.
- Whisk The Matcha and Hot Water First: In a bowl, whisk together matcha powder and a small amount of boiling water to create a smooth and frothy paste. This step ensures that the matcha is properly dissolved and prevents any clumps from forming.
- Experiment with Variations: Get creative by incorporating different flavors and textures. Matcha pairs well with white chocolate, so try adding a drizzle of white chocolate around the sides of your cup before adding your drink mixture, and finish with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Or if you prefer it warm on a cold winter day, leave out the ice.
