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

    Mix in the vanilla extract and maple syrup (or honey) until fully blended. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
    3. Assemble the Latte
  3. 3
    Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the chilled oat milk, leaving space at the top for the matcha mixture.
    4. Combine and Layer
  4. 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.
    5. Optional Topping
  5. 5
    If you want a café-style presentation, top the drink with vanilla cold foam and a sprinkle of matcha powder before serving.
    6. Serve and Enjoy
  6. 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.
