A creamy, refreshing iced latte combining the earthy flavor of matcha with a bold shot of espresso, perfect for a quick energizing boost at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 1 shot (1 oz / 30 ml) freshly brewed espresso or strong cold brew concentrate
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk, unsweetened or preferred brand
  • 1–2 teaspoons simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) warm water (around 175°F / 80°C) for whisking matcha
  • Optional: a drop or two of vanilla extract
  • Optional: plant-based cream like coconut cream for extra indulgence

Instructions

  1. Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of warm water (not boiling, about 175°F / 80°C).
  3. Whisk rapidly in a zig-zag motion using a bamboo whisk or frother until smooth and frothy with no lumps (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Pull one shot of espresso (1 oz / 30 ml) using an espresso machine or brew a strong coffee concentrate; cold brew concentrate can be used as an alternative (2-3 minutes).
  5. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup to the matcha mixture or directly to the glass, adjusting sweetness to taste (optional).
  6. Fill a tall glass about 3/4 full with ice cubes.
  7. Pour the oat milk (1 cup / 240 ml) over the ice.
  8. Pour the prepared matcha over the oat milk, followed by the espresso shot on top to create a marbled effect.
  9. Gently stir with a spoon or straw to combine flavors before sipping.

Notes

Use warm water (around 175°F / 80°C) to whisk matcha to avoid bitterness and clumps. Freshly brewed espresso is preferred for best flavor, but cold brew concentrate works as a substitute. Oat milk adds natural sweetness and creaminess; almond or cashew milk can be used as alternatives. Adjust sweetness to taste. For a richer texture, add plant-based cream like coconut cream. Serve immediately over ice for best flavor and appearance. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir before drinking.
