Print Recipe

A creamy, easy-to-make homemade version of the Starbucks Matcha Frappuccino that uses simple pantry ingredients to deliver a refreshing, velvety, and slightly sweet matcha drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons hot water (about 175°F or 80°C)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (whole milk recommended; almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup ice cubes (about 150 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (optional; agave, maple syrup, or sugar)
  • Whipped cream (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the matcha powder: Place 1 tablespoon of ceremonial grade matcha powder in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling, around 175°F or 80°C). Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until smooth and frothy.
  2. Combine ingredients in the blender: Pour the whisked matcha into the blender. Add 1 cup of milk of choice, 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup, and 1 cup of ice cubes. Add 1 tablespoon of sweetener if desired.
  3. Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds or until the ice is finely crushed and the mixture is creamy and frothy.
  4. Taste and adjust: Taste the frappuccino. If too bitter, add a splash more vanilla syrup or sweetener and pulse a few seconds to mix.
  5. Serve immediately: Pour into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream if desired and dust a tiny pinch of matcha powder on top for an authentic look.

Notes

Use ceremonial grade matcha for best flavor and vibrant color. Whisk matcha with hot water before blending to avoid lumps. Use fresh solid ice cubes for best texture. Adjust sweetness with vanilla syrup or sweetener to taste. Chill glass before serving for extra coolness. Blend in bursts to avoid over-thinning.
