Step 1 of 4

Prepare the Matcha

Start by measuring out the right amount of matcha powder for the perfect balance of flavor. This is the foundation of your iced matcha latte.

What You'll Need

1-2 teaspoons ceremonial grade matcha powder
Fine mesh strainer or sifter
Small bowl
Measuring spoons

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Measure your matcha powder

Use 1 teaspoon for a mild flavor or 2 teaspoons for a stronger, more traditional taste.

2

Sift to remove clumps

Place your strainer over a bowl and gently sift the powder through.

3

Prepare for whisking

Keep the bowl clean and dry so the matcha stays smooth.

Why This Step Matters

Properly measuring and sifting your matcha ensures consistent flavor and a smooth finish in every sip.

Step 2 of 4

Whisk Until Smooth

Add hot water and whisk vigorously to create a smooth, frothy mixture. This prevents clumps and creates the perfect texture.

How to Whisk

1

Add water: Pour 2-3 oz of hot water (175°F / 80°C) over your sifted matcha.

2

Use zigzag motion: Whisk in rapid "W" or "M" pattern from your wrist.

3

Check texture: Whisk for 30-45 seconds until you see light foam on top.

Key to Smooth Texture

Speed is more important than strength. Quick, controlled motions create fine foam and prevent clumps.

Step 3 of 4

Add Milk and Ice

Transform your matcha concentrate into a refreshing iced latte by adding milk and ice. This step brings it all together.

What You'll Need

8-10 oz milk (dairy or plant-based)
Ice cubes (about 1 cup)
Tall glass (12-16 oz capacity)
Optional sweetener

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Prepare your glass

Choose a clear tall glass so the beautiful layers are visible.

2

Fill with ice

Fill around two-thirds of the glass with ice cubes.

3

Pour your milk

Slowly pour milk over the ice and leave room on top.

4

Add the matcha concentrate

Pour your whisked matcha mixture on top for beautiful swirls.

5

Add sweetener (optional)

Add honey or simple syrup to taste and stir gently.

Best Milk Options

Oat milk: naturally sweet and creamy
Whole milk: rich and classic texture
Almond milk: lighter body and nutty taste
Coconut milk: tropical aroma and smooth finish
