    The Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte is a refreshing beverage made by blending high-quality matcha tea powder with milk and serving it over ice. This cool and creamy drink is perfect for hot days when you need a revitalizing pick-me-up.

    Combining matcha tea with milk, the Vanilla Matcha Latte recipe is rich in antioxidants, which help boost energy levels and improve concentration. This drink not only offers a nutritional boost but also provides a refreshing and invigorating experience, making it an excellent choice for any time of day.

    Ingredients you need

    You need these ingredients to make this cold matcha latte:

    • Matcha powder: It is preferable to use ceremonial grade matcha powder rather than culinary grade matcha powder, the first is made from young green tea leaves. It gives a more vibrant green color and, above all, a less bitter taste.
    • Water: Water is used to dilute the green tea powder. You can use warm water or lukewarm water, do not use cold water.
    • Sugar: Essential for softening the bitterness of green tea, use natural sugar such as maple syrup, honey, or coconut sugar or a simple syrup.
    • Milk: For the latte version, your milk of choice, like plant-based milk, I prefer almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, soy milk or with coconut milk.
    • Vanilla: Add a little pure vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste or use vanilla syrup.
