Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte (Vegan!)
This Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte is creamy, refreshing, and is ready in 10 minutes or less. You'll be shocked at how easy it is to make this vegan matcha latte in your very own kitchen! *Note that From Start to Finish is an estimate that assumes about 5 minutes for you to heat up your water, and another 5 minutes (or less) to complete the directions of the recipe.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup hot water
- 1 teaspoon culinary grade matcha powder*
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup - (or agave)
- 1 cup ice
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- Add the hot water, matcha powder, vanilla, and maple syrup to a small bowl. Combine using a whisk, a fork, or a frother. The matcha should be fully incorporated into the water so that there are no chunks of powder.
- Add ice to a cup of your choice and pour the almond milk over the ice. Pour your matcha mixture on top. Stir together and give it a taste. Add more sweetener if desired.
Notes
*Culinary grade matcha powder: there seems to be a lot of debate out there on if culinary grade or ceremonial grade matcha should be used for matcha lattes. I decided to stick to culinary grade for this recipe since it is cheaper! However if you'd like to experiment with ceremonial grade you can - just keep in mind that it will likely be less bitter and therefore you probably won't need to use as much sweetener.
