A refreshing and creamy iced matcha latte made with vanilla oat milk and a honey drizzle, perfect for a quick, soothing pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (preferably ceremonial-grade)
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) vanilla oat milk (recommend Oatly Barista Edition)
  • 1 tablespoon honey, plus extra for drizzling (raw or local preferred)
  • 2 ounces (1/4 cup) hot water, just below boiling (about 175°F / 80°C)
  • Ice cubes, enough to fill your glass generously
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: a few drops vanilla extract
  • Optional: alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or agave (1:1 swap with honey)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of water to just under boiling (about 175°F / 80°C). Avoid boiling water to prevent bitterness.
  2. Place 1 teaspoon of matcha powder in a small bowl or cup. Pour in the hot water.
  3. Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion using a bamboo whisk or small metal whisk until matcha is fully dissolved and a light froth forms, about 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey while the matcha is still warm to dissolve easily. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  5. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the latte.
  6. Pour 1 cup (8 fl oz) of cold vanilla oat milk over the ice.
  7. Slowly pour the sweetened matcha over the oat milk and ice to create a layered effect.
  8. Drizzle honey on top for a glossy finish and extra sweetness.
  9. Gently stir before drinking to blend the layers.

Notes

Use water just below boiling (175°F / 80°C) to avoid bitterness. Sift matcha powder if clumpy. Warm oat milk slightly for creamier texture but cool before adding ice. Store matcha concentrate (matcha, hot water, honey) in fridge up to 2 days; add oat milk and ice before serving. Use honey drizzle for added floral sweetness and complexity.
