Matcha can be a great coffee alternative for those allergic or sensitive to coffee (like me). Or perhaps for those who are trying to lower their coffee intake. However, the cost of having a matcha latte every day ranges from $5 to $10 each, per my experience. A healthier and smarter alternative is to make it yourself at home. This iced matcha latte is ready in under 5 minutes and tastes just as good, if not better than store-bought! You can save your lattes money and buy yourself the new gadget or dress you want.

Boost The Health Benefits

You can take advantage of zipping on your super full of antioxidants iced matcha latte by adding more ingredients to boost your health benefits. Some ingredients you can add are:

• MCT or coconut oil will make your matcha creamier and more fulfilling
• A scoop of collagen if you wish to add more protein
• Adaptogens, for example, ashwagandha, lion’s mane, maca powder, cinnamon, rishi, and any other you like
• Lavender edible essential oil. Make sure you only add one drop. I have used Doterra Lavender essential oils for this. This is my favorite add-on to my matcha drinks. It blends very well with the earthy matcha flavor. It is calming, tastes delicious, and fills you with calmness and spa-like feeling.

Healthy Iced Matcha Latte Recipe

Gluten-Fred | Vegan | Dairy-Free

Servings: 1

Ingredients

• • 1 teaspoon Matcha (organic and ceremonial grade is best)
  • 4 tablespoons Water (hot or cold)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Organic and gluten free)
  • 2 teaspoons Maple syrup (Organic and gluten free)
  • 3/4 cups Ice cubes
  • 1/2 cup Plant based milk (Three Trees brand)
  • 1/2 to 1 cup Water

Instructions

1. In a small bowl or wide cup add the water and then the matcha. Mix the matcha powder with the water using a bambu whisk making round motions until the matcha is dissolved. Add the vanilla and maple syrup and mix a little more. This will result in a foamy green water mix.
2. Alternatively, you can use a blender for this step.
3. Add ice cubes to a tall cup, ice mug, or mason jar and fill it to 2/3rds to make your iced latte.
4. Pour the water/matcha mix to the bottom.
5. Add the milk and any nutritional boosts and enjoy the sight of the dual color green and white. Mix and enjoy.

Notes

• Use any milk you like; however, if you like a creamy consistency, use creamier milk such as coconut milk.
• Use gluten-free ingredients for a gluten-free recipe.
• The coconut oil health boost works better with a hot latte.
