Iced Matcha Latte

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.
Ingredients for an Iced Matcha Latte: almond milk, honey, matcha, vanilla

Recipe tips:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces unsweetened vanilla almond milk, or another milk of your choice
  • 1 ½ teaspoons matcha green tea powder
  • 2-3 teaspoons honey, pure maple syrup, or other sweetener
  • splash pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on medium-high speed until the matcha powder is dissolved, about 30 seconds. Taste, and add more sweetener if desired. Pour over ice.

Notes

*If you’re using a sweetened plant based milk you can likely reduce or eliminate the added sweetener. 
Double or triple this recipe and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days.
If you’re new to drinking matcha you might want to reduce the matcha powder slightly and/or increase the sweetener. The flavor can be a bit overpowering if you’re not used to it.
Feel free to add a scoop of vanilla protein powder and crushed ice to turn this into a matcha protein smoothie.

    I have tried it with the honey and a small tsp of sugar but I can’t get the sweetness quite right. I am using original unsweetened almond milk. Does the maple syrup and vanilla milk add a little more sweetness to it without depleting the nutritional value?

      Hi Lindsie. The (unsweetened) vanilla milk and maple syrup are my preference, but it should still be perfectly tasty with plain almond milk and honey (I’ve tried it that way too). Matcha is a fairly bold taste, so if you are new to drinking it you might want to go a little heavier on the sweetener until you get used to it. You can also try sweetening it with stevia or you can even just reduce the matcha powder so that the matcha flavor isn’t as strong.

    You’re Latte recipe made with matcha tea sounds delicious. I’m going out tomorrow to purchase some at Sprouts. My question to you is can I also add my protein powder to the mixture? Has anyone else tried this before?

      Hi, Trish. Yes, I have added vanilla protein powder and it worked great, it just turns out a little thicker. You could also blend in some ice and it will be more like a smoothie. I will update the recipe with those notes right now. Thanks! Enjoy!

    I can’t wait to try this! Starbucks uses real matcha in their green tea lattes and frappucinos (I’m an ex-barista!!) but now I want to make these at home, for a lot cheaper! Your photos are lovely, by the way!! 😉

    This is a really great recipe! I used a sweetner made out of sugar dissolved in water and it tasted amazing – I love the idea of blending it, that way you don’t need to buy a matcha whisk specifically for a single drink.

    OMGoodness! This was delicious! I added just a little protein powder to mine. Once blended, then I put it in a cocktail shaker with ice and shook the heck out of it! Nice and cold without diluting it. Oh, and to make sure the matcha powder was completely dissolved I first heated just a bit of water in a cup in the microwave, then stirred in the powder…worked like a charm! Thank you so much for sharing, as this is the best one by far. (I’ve tried others).

    Just made this Iced Matcha Latte recipe with canned coconut milk, and added a cup of ice. I blended with electric blender, came out like a shake, added a few ice cubes in my glass for more chill factor. Love this recipe, thanks!
