This Iced Matcha Latte recipe by a tea sommelier offers a refreshing and visually stunning layered drink combining sweetened milk and vibrant matcha green tea. It is quick and easy to prepare, requiring just a few ingredients and minimal time, making it perfect for a refreshing Japanese-inspired beverage at home.

Ingredients

Milk Mixture

  • ¾ cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 teaspoons honey

Ice

  • ¾ cup ice

Matcha Mixture

  • ⅓ cup cold water
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder

Instructions

  1. Sweeten the Milk: Put the milk and honey into a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds to combine and sweeten the milk smoothly.
  2. Prepare the Glass: Pour the sweetened milk into a glass, then add ¾ cup of ice to create the base for the latte. This sweetened milk layer will help create the beautiful separation from the matcha.
  3. Clean the Shaker: Rinse the cocktail shaker to remove any milk residue before preparing the matcha mixture.
  4. Mix the Matcha: Combine the cold water and matcha powder in the cocktail shaker—add water first to avoid clumping, then sprinkle in the matcha. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds until the matcha is fully dissolved.
  5. Layer the Matcha: Slowly pour the shaken matcha over the ice in the glass, pouring on top of the ice rather than directly into the milk. This technique ensures a clean layered visual effect.
  6. Serve: Stir the drink before drinking to blend the layers and enjoy your refreshing iced matcha latte.

Notes

  • Use any type of milk—dairy or plant-based—according to your preference.
  • Adjust honey sweetness to taste for a less or more sweet latte.
  • If you don't have a cocktail shaker, use any airtight container with a tight lid, like a jar or small food storage container.
  • Pour matcha slowly over the ice to create a layered effect that looks appealing.
  • Stir before drinking to mix the flavors properly.
