If you're a matcha fan and craving something refreshing, an iced matcha latte is the way to go! This vibrant green drink is packed with antioxidants and provides a smooth, energizing caffeine boost without the crash. Plus, it’s super easy to make at home in just a few minutes!
Ingredients:
- 3 grams Matcha Bali powder (or your favorite high-quality matcha)
- 40 ml warm water (about 70°C)
- 120 ml milk or oat milk (for a vegan version)
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
- Ice cubes
Directions:
Prepare the Matcha:- In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to avoid clumps.
- Add 40 ml of warm water (not boiling) and whisk with a matcha whisk (or use a small hand frother) until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.
- If you like your iced matcha latte a bit sweeter, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener while the matcha is still warm. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes.
- Add the milk (or oat milk)
- Pour the prepared matcha on top of the milk.
Sip and enjoy the refreshing, creamy flavor of your iced matcha latte!
Pro Tips:
- Use a good quality matcha: For the best flavor, opt for ceremonial-grade matcha.
- Adjust the sweetness: Start with a small amount of sweetener and taste, adjusting to your preference.
- Non-dairy milk: Oat milk works wonderfully for a creamy texture, but you can also use almond or coconut milk for a lighter version.
Perfect for when you want that matcha energy boost but don’t want to heat up the kitchen! 🌿🍵
