What does an iced matcha latte taste like?

Matcha has a grassy, vibrant, and slightly bitter flavor. The quality of the matcha significantly affects the taste–ceremonial-grade matcha is much smoother and tastes fresh. The type and amount of milk and sweetener used will also impact the flavor, making each iced matcha latte unique.

Can I drink an iced matcha latte while pregnant?

Matcha contains caffeine, so it’s best to speak with your doctor about whether caffeine is safe during your pregnancy, how much may be appropriate, and which trimester is best.

How to make an iced matcha latte without a whisk?

No whisk? No problem! Simply shake the matcha, water, and milk in a sealed glass jar until fully mixed, then pour over ice. A blender or Magic Bullet also works great.

Can I make an iced matcha latte in advance?

Yes! Mix everything except the ice and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to drink it, pour it over ice, and you’re good to go.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup cold water, divided

1/2 teaspoon matcha powder

1 cup ice

1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as almond)

Liquid stevia, pure monk fruit drops, or raw honey (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from sleeping while you cook

Instructions

1. Mix the Matcha: In a glass, combine ¼ cup cold water with the matcha powder. Use a matcha frother or a small whisk to blend until completely smooth with no clumps. Then, add the remaining water and stir.

2. Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes.

3. Pour the Milk: Slowly pour your choice of milk over the ice.

4. Sweeten (optional): Add sweetener to taste, stir, and enjoy!

Notes

· Prevent Splattering: Start with a small amount of water, mix well, then add the rest—especially if using a frother.

· Use cold, filtered water for the best flavor.

· For Extra Froth: Blend the matcha, water, milk, and sweetener in a blender or Magic Bullet before pouring over ice.

· Larger iced cubes melt slower, preventing your latte from getting watered down too quickly.

· Boost Protein: Add a scoop of unflavored collagen peptides for protein. It hardly affects the flavor.

· Store Matcha Properly: Keep matcha powder in the fridge to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation.
