My Perfect Vegan Iced Matcha Latte
I love iced matcha lattes, and I've spent a long time figuring out my favorite ratios. This is MY favorite version, with soy milk and maple syrup to keep it vegan. Use this as a starting point and adjust to your liking!
Course: Drinks
Cuisine: Japanese
Servings: 1 12 oz cup
- 1 tsp matcha about 2g
- 1/4 cup water almost to a boil
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- ice
- 1/2 cup soy milk
Place tsp of matcha into 12 oz mug (or other heat proof cup if you will be pouring into a different glass).
Add 1/4 cup almost boiling water and whisk until smooth. I use a bamboo whisk specifically made for matcha, but you can use whatever works.
Add maple syrup and stir to combine.
Fill cup with ice almost to the brim. (If you're layering matcha on top, make sure to use a new cup for this step.)
Pour the soy milk over the ice; it should fill the 12 oz cup. (This is where you pour the matcha on top, if you're layering it that way.)
Stir and enjoy!
- Please use high quality matcha! See blog post above for more details.
- Adjust sweetener and milk to your liking. If you are not keeping this recipe vegan, feel free to use honey or dairy milk as well.
- Not feeling like a latte? You can simply use cold water instead of milk too.
