A Mango Matcha Iced Latte is the perfect blend of tropical sweetness and vibrant green tea energy. The creamy, smooth flavor of matcha pairs beautifully with the juicy, tangy mango, making this a delightful, hydrating pick-me-up. Plus, it’s easy to make and absolutely refreshing on a warm day!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 3 grams Matcha Bali powder (or your preferred matcha powder)
- 40 ml hot water (about 70°C)
- 120 ml milk or oat milk (for a vegan version)
- 200-250 ml cold water (or adjust to your desired strength)
- Ice cubes
- Optional: 1-2 teaspoons honey or sweetener of choice (for a little extra sweetness)
Directions:
Prepare the Mango Puree:- In a blender or using a hand blender, puree the diced mango until smooth. If the mango is too thick, you can add a splash of water to help blend it better. Set aside.
- Sift the 3 grams of matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps.
- Add 40 ml of hot water (around 70°C). Whisk until the matcha is completely dissolved and frothy. You can use a matcha whisk or a small frother for a smooth texture.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Spoon the mango puree into the glass, filling about 1/3 of the glass with the smooth, tropical fruit base.
- Add the milk (or oat milk)
- Pour the prepared matcha on top of the milk.
- If you’d like your mango matcha latte sweeter, add 1-2 teaspoons of honey or sweetener of choice and stir until dissolved.
Stir to combine all the flavors, or sip it layered for a stunning presentation. Enjoy the creamy, energizing tropical goodness of your Iced Mango Matcha Latte!
Pro Tips:
- Ripe mango: The riper your mango, the sweeter and smoother the puree will be. If you want a more intense mango flavor, use more mango puree.
- Cold brew matcha: If you prefer a less intense hot matcha shot, you can also make a cold brew matcha by whisking the matcha powder into cold water. It’ll take longer to dissolve, but it results in a smoother, less bitter flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness: Mango itself is naturally sweet, so you may not need much added sugar. Start with less sweetener and taste as you go.
This Iced Mango Matcha Latte is the perfect balance of fruity sweetness and earthy matcha flavor—refreshing, energizing, and oh-so-creamy! 🌿🥭❄️
