This drink made from powdered green tea can sometimes taste bitter, especially when you venture to make it at home. There are a few things you can do to make it taste better, though, and you probably already have it all in your pantry!
So here is an easy recipe for making the perfect iced matcha latte at home:
1. Froth 1 teaspoon of matcha powder with approximately 50ml of hot water.
You can do it the traditional way, either with the wooden whisk and the bowl, or with an electric milk frother.
2. Sweeten your matcha.
To cut the bitterness, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of honey. To flavor everything, 1 teaspoon of vanilla will give a sweeter side to the drink!
If you're feeling funky, TikTokeuse @bearenger suggests adding a pinch of cinnamon and salt.
To blend the flavors, whisk your matcha again for a few seconds.
3. Add matcha to a glass filled with ice cubes.
4. Add the milk of your choice.
Oat milk is very popular for iced matcha lattes, as it doesn't change the taste of the drink too much. For a touch a little sweeter, coconut milk is ideal!
There you go, enjoy!
