This refreshing and delicious Iced Matcha Latte is the perfect morning drink or afternoon pick-me-up. 

I can’t even believe I’m writing this post right now. ME, the non coffee drinker, non latte person who’s barely ever step foot into a coffee shop! Well, the good news is, I still don’t ever have to go! Please tell me you know about my irrational fear of ordering something at a coffee shop?

It’s terrifying! For somebody who doesn’t order a drink on the regular, there’s a lot of pressure when you get to the front of that line. People are waiting, they’re most likely in a rush and they most definitely know exactly what they want. Me on the other hand, I’m not down with the coffee shop lingo and I certainly have no idea what I want or how to order it.

So, earlier this year I attended a 3-day photography workshop in San Francisco with two of my favorite bloggers, Bella from Fulfilled and Timmy from Mississippi Vegan. Each afternoon Bella offered to whip up a batch of her famous Matcha Lattes for the group. I had never tried Matcha before but everyone was SO excited and needed the little pick me up. Since I have major FOMO I decided to give it a try. I didn’t have to go stand in line anywhere, I was amongst friends, and if I didn’t like it, then that was it!

Spoiler alert: I LOVED IT. You guys, this matcha latte became my new favorite drink! When I got home I immediately decided to figure out how to make it for myself so that I never had to step foot in a coffee shop again.

I quickly figured it out, because it’s beyond easy (you know me, I only do easy). And OMG this will change your matcha world. Yes, matcha might be trendy right now, but I gotta tell you, this is one of my favorite treats to make. I make it warm in the winter and ice cold all summer long!

While you are free to use any milk you like, I find this drink is mega elevated if you make your own nut milk.

Almond or cashew are my fave. Macadamia nut is pretty awesome too. You can make a big batch of nut milk in the beginning of the week and use it to make these lattes all week long!

Description

This refreshing and delicious Iced Matcha Latte is the perfect morning drink or afternoon pick-me-up. 

---

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder

Instructions

1. In a glass whisk the matcha with 2-3 tablespoons of water until smooth. A matcha whisk works best for this. If you don’t have a matcha whisk you will need to pour the dry matcha through a fine mesh strainer into the glass or blend it in order to get it smooth.
2. Fill the glass with ice then add the remaining water, milk, maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon. Stir until combined and enjoy immediately!
