Easy Iced Matcha Latte Recipe (Better Than Starbucks!)
Okay, let’s talk about the iced matcha latte. It’s cool, it’s green, it’s giving calm energy without the crash. And honestly? Once you start making them at home, your coffee shop habit might take a back seat. Sit down Starbucks.
This recipe is creamy, earthy, just the right amount of sweet, and ridiculously easy to make. We’re talking under 5 minutes with only a few ingredients!
Pro Tips
- Buy the good stuff: Look for vibrant green powder with no bitterness. Brands like Naoki, Ippodo, Matchaful, and Pique are great.
- Mix it well: A chasen (bamboo whisk) is traditional, but a frother or mason jar are perfect if you’re short on time.
- Skip the water: To make it extra strong, you can mix the matcha right into the milk.
- Store it smart: Matcha hates light, heat, and air. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge to maximize freshness.
