Variations
Sweetener Options: You can infuse diverse and delightful flavors into your Iced Matcha Latte by adding sweetener choices such as honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup. But you can also skip the sweetener to enjoy the natural taste of matcha. Milk Variation: Experiment with different type of milk for your Iced Matcha Latte. For a nutty flavor, you can use almond milk. If you want to add creaminess, then opt for whole milk. Use oat milk for sweetness and thickness. For a tropical twist, use coconut milk.
How to Make Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte
Step #1: Place the matcha powder and sugar, along with 1 tablespoon of hot water, in a mason jar or cocktail shaker. Use a small whisk or spoon to combine the ingredients until they are dissolved. It comes in two grades: Ceremonial Grade, which is high-quality and used in traditional tea ceremonies, and Culinary Grade, more robust and used for cooking, baking, and in flavored beverages like lattes. The youngest tea leaves create the highest-quality Ceremonial Grade, yielding a delicate flavor. On the other hand, Culinary Grade matcha suits recipes that combine matcha with other ingredients. Step #2: Pour the milk into the container, followed by the ice. Secure the lid and shake the mixture until it becomes well-combined and frothy. Sifting Matcha: Before adding your matcha powder to the mixture, sift it through a fine mesh sieve. This step removes any clumps, ensuring a smoother latte without any gritty bits of matcha powder.
