Ingredients
Scale
Matcha Mixture
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup warm water
For Serving
- Ice, as needed
- Milk of choice (e.g. almond milk), about 1 to 1 1/2 cups
Instructions
- Prepare Matcha Paste: In a measuring cup or bowl, add the matcha powder. Pour in 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water and whisk vigorously until the matcha powder is fully dissolved and forms a smooth, lump-free paste.
- Make Matcha Latte Base: Pour in 1 cup of warm water into the matcha paste and stir thoroughly to combine. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator or freezer for approximately 15 minutes until adequately cooled.
- Assemble Iced Matcha Latte: Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Add your preferred milk to each glass. Pour the chilled matcha mixture over the ice and milk, then stir well to blend the flavors before serving.
Notes
- Use sifted matcha powder for a smoother texture and to avoid clumps.
- Adjust the amount of hot water used to create the matcha paste depending on your preference for strength.
- Chilling the matcha mixture ensures a refreshing iced drink without diluting the flavor.
- Feel free to use dairy or any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk according to your dietary preference.
- Add a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter latte.
