This easy Iced Matcha Latte recipe makes a rich and creamy drink at home, better than from Starbucks. A healthy alternative to coffee, matcha latte is perfect in the morning or as an afternoon pick-me-up.
In a small bowl, place a teaspoon of matcha powder and hot water. Whisk well, using a bamboo whisk (or an electric coffee mixer), until the matcha has fully dissolved into the liquid. There should be no lumps left.
Pour into the matcha mixture ⅓ cup of the milk alongside maple syrup and vanilla extract (optional). Whisk to combine, adjusting with more sweetener if it is necessary.
Before serving, add to a glass a couple of ice cubes and the remaining milk, then pour in the matcha drink. Give it a good mix and enjoy.
