Make the perfect Iced Matcha Latte at home

Have you ever wondered how cafés manage to make that ice-cold matcha latte—bright green, perfectly layered, and creamy from the first sip?

But how do you recreate it at home so that it tastes just as good (or even better)?

A delicious ice-cold matcha latte isn't complicated, but it does come down to a few key details. With good quality matcha that suits your taste and the right technique, you can create something that is pure, creamy, and perfectly balanced.

Ingredients

  • 2 g matcha powder (preferably of ceremonial grade)
  • 60 ml hot water (70–80 °C / 160–175 °F, not boiling)
  • 150–200 ml cold milk (oat, almond, or cow's milk)
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: syrup of your choice

Instructions

1. Sieve the matcha into a bowl to remove any lumps. This will give you a smooth, even texture.

2. Add water; pour in 60 ml of hot water (not boiling). Water that is too hot can cause the matcha to taste bitter and bland.

3. Whisk with quick zigzag movements (in an M or W shape) until fully dissolved and a light layer of foam forms.

4. Prepare your glass; fill a glass with ice cubes.

5. Add cold milk; pour the milk over the ice. Oat milk works particularly well for a creamy, balanced finish.

6. Pour the matcha over the milk to create that sleek, layered look.

7. Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding your favorite syrup.

8. Stir briefly before drinking and enjoy!
