A simple, refreshing iced matcha latte made with high-quality matcha powder, unsweetened almond milk, and monk fruit sweetener for a naturally sweet and creamy drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 teaspoons (2 to 3 grams) ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) filtered hot water (around 175°F or 80°C)
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
  • Optional: a pinch of vanilla extract
  • Optional: a splash of coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Heat about 2 ounces (60 ml) of filtered water to around 175°F (80°C). Let it cool slightly if boiling.
  2. Sift 1 to 1.5 teaspoons (2 to 3 grams) of matcha powder through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl.
  3. Pour the warm water over the matcha powder and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a bamboo whisk or alternative until frothy and smooth, about 15-20 seconds.
  4. Stir in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon monk fruit sweetener, adjusting to taste. Add a drop of vanilla extract if using.
  5. Fill a tall glass with about 1 cup (240 ml) of ice cubes.
  6. Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the ice.
  7. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk over the matcha and ice. Use slightly more for creamier texture if desired.
  8. Gently stir the drink with a spoon or straw to blend layers slightly without losing the iced effect.
  9. Taste and adjust sweetness or milk as needed.

Notes

Use ceremonial grade matcha powder for best flavor and vibrant color. Avoid boiling water to prevent bitterness. Sift matcha powder to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness carefully as monk fruit can taste medicinal if overused. Pour almond milk slowly over ice for layered effect. Can substitute oat or cashew milk for almond milk. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
