Ingredients
Scale
Main Latte Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1½ teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder
- ¼ cup hot water (not boiling)
- Pinch of salt
- Ice (for serving)
Cold Foam (Optional)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1½ tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Make the Matcha: In a small bowl or cup, combine the hot water, maple syrup, pinch of salt, and sifted matcha powder. Whisk vigorously using a regular whisk or a milk frother until the matcha is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth with no clumps.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the whole milk, then slowly pour the prepared matcha mixture over the milk to create a layered effect. Stir gently to fully combine the ingredients.
- Prepare Optional Cold Foam: In a separate small bowl or cup, whisk or froth the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk together until soft peaks form. Spoon or pour this cold foam over the top of the iced matcha latte to add a creamy, luscious texture and rich flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
- Use ceremonial-grade matcha for best flavor and smoothness.
- Hot water should be warm but not boiling to preserve matcha’s delicate flavor.
- The cold foam topping is optional but adds a nice creamy contrast.
- For a vegan version, substitute whole milk and heavy cream with oat or almond milk alternatives and use a vegan condensed milk substitute.
