Iced Matcha Latte

Ingredients

• •1 tsp matcha powder (culinary or ceremonial grade)
• •3 tbsp hot water (not boiling, about 75°C / 170°F)
• •3/4 cup oat milk or whole milk
• •1–2 tsp simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup (to taste)
• •1 cup ice cubes

Directions

1. 1Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or mug to remove any lumps.
2. 2Add the hot (not boiling) water and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion for about 30 seconds until completely smooth and slightly frothy — a small matcha whisk (chasen) is ideal but a regular small whisk works fine.
3. 3Stir in the sweetener of your choice into the matcha mixture.
4. 4Fill a tall glass to the top with ice cubes.
5. 5Pour the cold milk over the ice.
6. 6Slowly pour the matcha mixture over the milk and ice.
7. 7Stir gently and serve immediately, or leave it layered for the stunning visual effect.

💡 Boiling water will make matcha taste bitter and grassy — let your kettle sit for 2 minutes off the boil, or target 75°C. Matcha powder is now widely available at Bulk Barn, T&T Supermarket, and most major Canadian grocery stores in the tea or health aisle. For a lightly sweetened drink, oat milk adds a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with matcha. Culinary grade is more affordable and perfectly good for lattes.
