This creamy Iced Matcha Latte is lightly sweetened and flavored with a touch of vanilla. This homemade latte is just as delicious as the version from a coffee shop. You only need four basic ingredients and it’s ready in minutes!
This is my favorite way to enjoy matcha. Not only is this latte delicious but it is so good for you. Matcha green tea is energizing, anti-inflammatory, and high in antioxidants. Let’s make an Iced Matcha Latte!
Ingredients:
- Milk (plant based or dairy milk): This is the base of the latte. My favorite milk for this recipe is unsweetened vanilla almond milk. But you can make it with oat milk, coconut milk, rice milk, regular milk, and more. If you choose a sweetened milk you might want to reduce or omit the added sugar (honey/maple syrup).
- Matcha: Choose your favorite brand of matcha green tea powder. Make sure you check the ingredients, as some can included hidden sugars. Matcha Love is my favorite brand.
- Honey or Maple Syrup: Choose the sweetener of your choice to sweeten this latte. Use as much or as little as you’d like. Start with a small amount, taste it, and adjust until you get it as sweet as you’d like it.
- Vanilla Extract: This special ingredient is what sets this recipe apart from others. Just a drop or two adds a well-rounded vanilla flavor to the latte.
Recipe tips:
- My #1 tip for preparing matcha is to ensure the matcha powder is completely dissolved in the beverage. I use a blender to mix up this latte which ensures it always has a smooth consistency with no lumps.
- Since this recipe does require a blender, I often double or triple it and store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. All you have to do is give it a quick shake and pour it over ice when you’re ready. No need to wash the blender every single day.
- If you’d like to turn this latte into a smoothie, add ½ a frozen banana, a handful of ice and 1-2 scoops of protein powder before blending. You can even sneak in a handful of spinach, too.
Serving and storage
Serve this iced latte in a large glass filled with ice. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I’ve tried this at that Starry-Eyed, Big Bucks coffee chain and thought it was pretty good. And was excited to try your DIY version. This is such an easy drink to make and WOW, so much cheaper to make on my own than buy at the coffee shop. Thanks to you and this recipe, I’ll be enjoying it a lot more frequently. Thanks! YUMMY.

The instructions for this matcha are excellent! Ive been making matcha wrong this whole time 😭 (adding to water and then adding milk, what was I thinking)
The nutribullet worked so well to get rid of any lil bits of matcha and I used some vanilla bean simple syrup and oat milk, poured it over crushed ice and YUMMMM! Perfect. Will be using blender instead of little electric whisk from now on. Thanks!
Allison
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe. Switching to a blender made all the difference for me. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

You can warm the milk in a saucepan and use a handheld blender for a hot latte. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
