    How to Make this Easy Iced Matcha Latte Recipe

    Jump to Recipe

    Do you ever crave a refreshing and energizing green tea drink to get you through the day? Look no further than this iced matcha latte recipe! This vibrant green color of this beverage is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it's also packed with health benefits that will leave you feeling revitalized and ready to tackle anything.

    Matcha powder is made from green tea leaves that have been ground into a fine powder. It's known for its high concentration of antioxidants and natural caffeine. When combined with creamy milk and served over ice, it creates a delicious and nutritious beverage that will satisfy your taste buds and give you the boost you need to power through your day!

    The recent inflation and rising cost of everything, has made my family and I think twice about what we're spending our money on. I'm the kind of person who swears that I need to get something from Starbucks every time I go to Target. If I don't, my shopping simply trip won't go according to plan (at least that's what I tell myself to justify it). I've since realized how much all that really adds up to. I'm challenging myself to not frequent coffee shops as often and to start making more of my favorite beverages at home starting with this iced matcha latte recipe.

    This refreshing drink isn't just any iced matcha latte recipe. This easy recipe features a delicious and easy-to-make raspberry cold foam. I've included directions below under the substitutions section on how to make the cold foam plain in case you aren't able to get your hands on the raspberry infused syrup.

    I'm working on adding more easy and delicious drink recipes to the blog. Check out this Moscow mule mocktail that I created for Dry January and let me know what you think!

    How to make creamy matcha lattes at home

    I've included some step-by-step images so you can make your own Starbucks matcha latte at home (without all the extra sugar)! I know for me, I love having visual guides. I hope this helps!

    Top off with the raspberry cold foam. Sip and enjoy!

    Hint: Do not over-mix your cold foam. Doing this will make it a bit too thick.

    Substitutions

    Below, I've included a few substitution options for keeping this beverage dairy free, low-sugar and low-calorie. The best part about making your own green tea latte is deciding how little or how much sugar to add in it. These minor tweaks make it easy for everyone to enjoy this homemade matcha latte recipe.

    • Dairy free - instead of using heavy cream, you can use heavy coconut cream or any other plant-based heavy creams available on the market.
    • Raspberry cold foam - if you'd like a more plain cold foam, I suggest omitting the raspberry syrup and adding in a ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and sweetener of choice.
    • Low sugar - to keep this beverage low in sugar and calories, I recommend using a plant-based milk such as unsweetened almond milk. Almond milk typically has only about 30 calories per serving. Almond milk also does not contain any added sugars. Using a sugar free syrup for your cold foam is another way to cut down on the sugar/calorie content.

    Equipment

    Some people may tell you that you absolutely need to use a bamboo whisk when making any kind of matcha beverage at home and I'm here to tell you that's not true. I used the same electric frother to whisk the matcha powder and water together as the one that I used to make the raspberry cold foam.

    • Handheld milk frother
    • Matcha whisk

    Storage

    Store leftover ingredients (dairy products) in the refrigerator.

    Top tip

    Try to get your hand on a ceremonial grade matcha. Grocery stores have a very limited selection to choose from so I suggest purchasing online. Use a ceremonial matcha for best results and to really unlock a stronger matcha flavor.

    FAQ

    Can I make this as a hot matcha latte instead?

    Yes. For this, you'll want to use hot water when whisking your powdered green tea. For the milk you'll want to steam it or simply warm it up in a small pot. Assemble the same was as shown in the process images above. Exclude serving over ice.

    What is a matcha latte?

    It is a caffeinated beverage that is made up of matcha green tea powder mixed with hot water and combined with steamed milk or other milk substitute. Pour milk over ice if enjoying it cold.
