Instructions

Sift the matcha: In a small bowl, sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder through a fine mesh strainer to remove any clumps. This ensures a smooth, lump-free latte.
Prepare the matcha base: Add 3 tablespoons of hot water (around 180°F) to the sifted matcha. Using a bamboo matcha whisk or mini whisk, whisk vigorously until the matcha powder is fully incorporated and no lumps remain, creating a smooth, concentrated base.
Dilute and cool: Add 3 tablespoons of cold water to the matcha mixture and whisk again to combine. This cools the matcha and adjusts the concentration for the latte.
Assemble the latte: Fill a glass two-thirds full with ice cubes. Pour in ¾ cup of your chosen milk, then carefully add the prepared matcha mixture to create a layered effect.
Sweeten and serve: If desired, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of your preferred sweetener and stir gently to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Iced Matcha Latte.

Notes

Use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
Adjust the amount of milk and sweetener to your personal taste preference.
Use milk alternatives like almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
For an extra frothy latte, blend the matcha base with milk before adding ice.
Store leftover matcha powder in a cool, dry place away from light to preserve freshness.
