Print Recipe

A refreshing iced matcha drink featuring the natural sweetness of vanilla bean and topped with creamy oat milk foam, perfect for a cool and comforting pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 teaspoons (2–3 grams) ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 1 whole vanilla bean pod, split lengthwise to scrape out seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk, preferably barista-style
  • ½ cup (120 ml) cold water
  • Ice cubes, enough to fill glass halfway
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sift 1 to 1.5 teaspoons (2-3 grams) of matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps. Add ½ cup (120 ml) cold water.
  2. Whisk the matcha and water briskly in a zigzag motion using a bamboo whisk or small regular whisk until fully dissolved and slightly frothy, about 20-30 seconds.
  3. Split the vanilla bean pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Stir the seeds into the matcha mixture.
  4. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sweetener if desired and mix well until dissolved.
  5. Fill a tall glass about halfway with ice cubes.
  6. Slowly pour the prepared matcha mixture over the ice.
  7. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk into a frother or jar and froth until thick and creamy foam forms, about 30-45 seconds.
  8. Gently spoon the creamy oat milk foam over the iced matcha, letting it float on top.
  9. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with a light dusting of matcha powder or a tiny vanilla bean scrap.

Notes

Sift matcha powder before whisking to avoid clumps. Use cold water for a refreshing iced drink or warm water for a hot latte version. Froth oat milk just before serving to keep foam fresh and airy. Vanilla bean seeds add natural flavor and visual appeal; vanilla extract can be used as a substitute but with less intensity.
