Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte
- 1/3 cup water
- A handful of ice
- 1/2-3/4 cup almond milk (or other milk of your choice)
- 1-2 tbsp vanilla syrup
- 1 tsp matcha powder
Instructions
Vanilla syrup
- Add cane sugar and water to a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Take the syrup off the heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Transfer to a jar and allow it to cool.
Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte
- Heat up the water in a small saucepan on the stove while you prepare the rest of the latte. Don’t let it boil or simmer to avoid burning the matcha.
- Fill a tall glass with ice and add milk and vanilla syrup.
- Sift matcha through a small fine mesh strainer into a small bowl or a cup.
- Cover with hot water and whisk using a matcha whisk or a milk frother. I add less water at first and add more as I’m whisking.
- Pour the matcha over the milk.
- Serve with a straw to stir the drink and enjoy!
Notes
Hot water for matcha: You can heat the water in a kettle as well. I just like heating it up on the stove because the kettle needs much more water, and you can’t measure such a small amount.
Storing: Store the syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer.
