Description
A quick, healthy, and creamy iced matcha latte made with oat milk and honey. This drink provides steady energy without the jitters of coffee, taking only 5 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 teaspoons matcha powder (culinary or ceremonial grade)
- 2 tablespoons hot water (around 175°F / 80°C)
- 1 cup unsweetened oat milk
- 1–2 teaspoons local raw honey
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: A pinch of lemon zest
- Optional: 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a small bowl or mug to remove clumps.
- Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling) to the matcha.
- Whisk vigorously in a ‘W’ motion until the matcha is completely dissolved and frothy (about 15-20 seconds).
- In a tall glass, add honey to the bottom.
- Pour in the oat milk and stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
- Add vanilla extract if using.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
- Pour the whisked matcha mixture over the ice.
- Stir gently before drinking to mix flavors, or drink layered for visual effect.
Notes
Do not use boiling water as it burns the matcha and makes it bitter. Sift the matcha powder to prevent clumps. For a lighter version, use water instead of oat milk. Store matcha concentrate in the fridge for up to 3 days, but make the oat milk fresh each time.
