Ingredients for an Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte

This recipe uses just a few basic ingredients to create a delicious latte. No specialty syrups or multiple glasses needed.

Matcha: Of course, you’ll need the start ingredient, matcha! For beverages, it’s best to use ceremonial grade matcha (as opposed to culinary grade which is fine for baking but won’t make as nice of a drink).
Sugar: I like to add some sugar to this recipe for a perfectly sweetened latte (that’s still far less sweet compared to what you would likely get at a coffee shop). Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. I haven’t tested this recipe with any other types of sugar or sugar substitutes.
Hot water: To properly mix the matcha, you’ll need to boil water.
Ice cubes: Since this is an iced latte, you’ll need lots of ice to chill this drink, making it cold and refreshing. Feel free to use matcha ice cubes or milk ice cubes, but even with regular ice, the drink never gets a “watered down” taste and stays flavorful and creamy to the end.
Milk: Any type of milk can work for this recipe. I typically use soy milk for a plant-based option that’s creamy and delicious. For an ultra rich and creamy latte, canned coconut milk is delicious in this recipe. I also have a matcha latte recipe using oat milk if you'd rather it!
Vanilla extract: To get that delicious vanilla flavor, this recipe simply uses some vanilla extract. If you regularly make lattes at home and have the space/ budget for vanilla syrup, you can use that in place of the sugar and vanilla extract.

How to Make an Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte

This is an easy drink to prepare, and you only need one glass. You’ll also need either a matcha whisk or a hand-held milk frother (my preference).

Step 1: Whisk Matcha and Sugar

Start by boiling some water.

Then, in a very large glass, add matcha powder. When the water boils, take it off heat and wait a few seconds for the bubbles to disappear. Pour about ⅓ cup of water over the matcha.

Whisk until the matcha is well-mixed with the water and there are no clumps.

Next, add sugar and whisk this into the matcha until the sugar dissolves fully.

Step 2: Add Other Ingredients and Serve

Add vanilla extract and ice to the glass and stir to combine.

Finish your drink by pouring plant-based milk over the ice. Stir and serve cold! It takes about 2-3 minutes to chill fully.

If you’d like, whip the milk until it’s frothy before pouring it into your glass.
