A creamy, lightly sweet healthy matcha green tea latte you can make hot or iced in five minutes with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 3 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt, optional
  • Ice, for iced version

Instructions

  • Add matcha powder to a small bowl or mug.
  • Pour in the warm water and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Add milk to a glass or mug. For a hot latte, warm the milk first. For an iced latte, pour the milk over ice.
  • Stir in maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt if using.
  • Pour the whisked matcha into the milk.
  • Stir or froth until creamy and fully combined.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.

Notes

  • Use warm water, not boiling water, to keep the matcha from tasting bitter.
  • For a creamier latte, use oat milk or whole milk.
  • For a lighter latte, use almond milk or your favorite unsweetened milk.
  • If you are new to matcha, start with ½ to 1 teaspoon and adjust from there.
  • For a stronger matcha flavor, use 1½ teaspoons of matcha powder.
