Ingredients
Matcha Mixture
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, agave, or sugar)
Main Drink
- 1 cup milk (dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk, or any milk of your choice)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
- Mint leaf, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare matcha paste: In a bowl, whisk the matcha powder with warm water until it forms a smooth paste without any lumps, ensuring a creamy and vibrant base.
- Add sweetener: Stir the sweetener into the matcha paste until fully combined for a balanced sweetness.
- Fill glass with ice: Take a separate glass and add ice cubes to your desired level, providing the chilled element for the latte.
- Pour milk over ice: Pour the chilled milk into the glass gently over the ice cubes to keep everything cool and fresh.
- Add matcha mixture: Slowly pour the matcha mixture over the milk, allowing it to cascade and create a layered, visually appealing effect.
- Mix gently: Stir the iced matcha latte gently with a spoon to combine the matcha and milk while maintaining its frothy texture.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle a pinch of matcha powder on top and add a fresh mint leaf for an elegant and aromatic finishing touch before serving.
Notes
- Use warm water, not hot, to prevent bitterness when mixing matcha powder.
- Adjust sweetness to taste with honey, maple syrup, agave, or sugar.
- Choose any milk that suits your dietary preferences, such as almond, oat, or dairy milk.
- Add more ice cubes if you prefer a colder drink.
- For a creamier texture, use milk with higher fat content or add a splash of cream.
- Whisk matcha well to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth latte.
