Easy Everyday Vegan Iced Matcha Latte Recipe

One of the bright spots of quarantine has been learning to make my own matcha and coffee at home. Matcha lattes are surprisingly easy to make at home and the recipe below tastes exactly like the coffee shop versions. Making my own matcha lattes has become part of my morning ritual and something I look forward to doing every morning. I’ve also been trying to drink matcha over coffee when I can. I prefer mine iced, but you can easily make the recipe below hot (make sure you whisk the matcha!).

I realized that I was spending about $6 or more on iced almond matcha lattes at coffee shops (eek) and could easily make them myself. Matcha has so many health benefits as well if you find that coffee makes you jittery, I highly recommend trying matcha for a caffeine boost that’s filled with antioxidants. You can find high-quality matcha in grocery stores or online, I like DoMatcha and get mine on Amazon.

Easy Everyday Vegan Iced Matcha Latte Recipe

+ 2 tbsp high-quality matcha powder

1 cup milk of choice (I prefer almond, but oat is yummy if you want something a little heartier!)

+ 1/2 cup water

+ 1 tsp honey (sweeten to taste)

+ Drop of vanilla extract

Vegan Iced Matcha Latte

Instructions 

Add matcha powder, milk, water, honey, and vanilla to blender. Blend for 30 seconds, pour over ice. You can whisk the matcha with the water in advance (for hot or iced versions) but I’ve found that blending everything together works in a pinch and is much easier. If you have a milk frother, you can also use that to give your latte more of a cafe quality.
