A refreshing and creamy iced latte combining vibrant matcha powder with rich coconut milk and a touch of sweetness, perfect for a quick pick-me-up or a cool summer drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) matcha powder (ceremonial grade recommended)
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) cold filtered water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) canned full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup or preferred sweetener
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: splash of vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: scoop of plant-based protein powder

Instructions

  1. Measure and sift 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of matcha powder into a small bowl to prevent lumps.
  2. Add 2 ounces (60 ml) of cold filtered water to the matcha powder. Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a matcha whisk or small kitchen whisk until smooth and frothy.
  3. Fill a tall glass with 1 cup (240 ml) canned full-fat coconut milk and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add plenty of ice cubes to the glass, filling it nearly to the top.
  5. Pour the matcha mixture over the iced coconut milk, creating a vibrant green and white contrast.
  6. Stir gently with a long spoon or straw until the matcha and coconut milk blend into a creamy pastel green iced latte. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  7. Optionally, add a small splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt to deepen the flavor and stir once more.

Notes

Use full-fat canned coconut milk for best creaminess. Sift matcha powder before whisking to avoid clumps. Cold water is essential to prevent bitterness. Adjust sweetness to taste. Optional vanilla extract or sea salt enhances flavor. Frozen coconut milk cubes can be used to avoid dilution.
