Iced Matcha Latte
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 2 ounces hot water (not boiling, about 175°F or 80°C)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy alternative)
- 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (like honey, agave syrup, or sugar) to taste
- Ice cubes
- Optional: Whipped cream for topping
Instructions:
- Prepare the Matcha: In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps. Add the hot water to the bowl and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a milk frother until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.
- Sweeten the Matcha: Stir in your preferred sweetener to the dissolved matcha until well mixed. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the milk over the ice, leaving some space at the top for the matcha.
- Combine: Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the milk. You can either layer it for a beautiful visual effect or stir gently to combine the flavors.
- Serve: If desired, top with whipped cream for an extra treat. Enjoy your refreshing Iced Matcha Latte!
Feel free to customize your Iced Matcha Latte by adjusting the sweetness or trying different types of milk!
