Ingredients
    For the Matcha Base:
  • 1.5 tsp matcha green tea powder (high quality, ceremonial or latte grade)
  • 60 ml warm water (about 80°C, not boiling)
  • 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste; vegan-friendly option: maple syrup)
  • For the Latte:
  • 180 ml oat milk (chilled, unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (as needed)
  • Optional Add-Ons:
  • 1 tbsp vanilla cold foam (optional, for topping)
  • 1 pinch matcha powder (for garnish)
Instructions
    Prepare the Matcha Paste
  1. 1
    In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any lumps. Add 60 ml of warm (not boiling) water and whisk vigorously in a “W” or “M” motion using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small frother until the mixture becomes smooth and frothy.
  2. Add Flavor and Sweetener
  3. 2
    Mix in the vanilla extract and maple syrup (or honey) until fully blended. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  4. Assemble the Latte
  5. 3
    Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the chilled oat milk, leaving space at the top for the matcha mixture.
  6. Combine and Layer
  7. 4
    Slowly pour the matcha mixture over the oat milk to create a beautiful layered effect. You can stir it gently if you prefer an even blend.
  8. Optional Topping
  9. 5
    If you want a café-style presentation, top the drink with vanilla cold foam and a sprinkle of matcha powder before serving.
  10. Serve and Enjoy
  11. 6
    Give it a quick stir before sipping. Your refreshing Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte with Oat Milk is ready to enjoy!
Note

Sweetener options: Maple syrup adds a smooth caramel sweetness, while honey gives a floral touch. For a sugar-free version, use stevia or agave.

Oat milk substitute: You can use almond, soy, or coconut milk, but oat milk gives the creamiest texture.

Matcha quality: Always use high-quality ceremonial or latte-grade matcha for the best color and taste.

Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but the matcha mixture can be prepped and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Shake well before use.

Pro tip: For extra froth, blend the entire drink for a few seconds before serving.
