Want to enjoy an Iced Matcha Latte at home? You only need a couple ingredients to make a homemade latte. Here’s a simple but easy recipe with step by step photos.
I love how easy it is to make a matcha green tea at home. No fancy equipment needed and put together in a jiffy. Some days when I’m feeling fancy (or cold lol), I’ll bust out my milk frother but most days, an iced matcha latte gets the job done since it’s quick, easy, and still tasty AF.
Why You’ll Love This Iced Matcha Latte Recipe
- According to my boyfriend, this matcha latte tastes like a Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino minute the whipped cream and the frap texture and I don’t disagree! It’s pretty much a Starbucks copycat and I’m hooked.
- It’s easy to make. Because it’s an iced latte, there’s no need to heat up the milk and the matcha latte comes together in a minute.
- You can easily make this vegan if needed.
- It costs less than store-bought. Despite living a walking distance from a coffee shop, making iced lattes at home is a much more budget friendly option.
What You’ll Need to Make an Iced Matcha Latte
- milk — or non dairy alternative
- honey — or maple syrup, stevia, or sweetener of choice
- matcha — I like using ceremonial for my lattes but you can purchase the best quality you are able it, just make sure it’s made in Japan. Matcha can be pricey but since you don’t use a ton per drink, the costs evens out.
- ice — you can even make it with my Matcha Ice Cubes for more matcha flavour!
- filtered water — my Brtia and I are practically best friends.

Matcha has more caffeine that regular brewed green tea but less than coffee and black tea.
Matcha is green tea that has been finely ground up into a powder.
I use a mini whisk that I got for a couple of bucks at a grocery store. No need to get a bamboo whisk just for this. You can also add it to a mason jar and shake it to combine instead of whisking.
Store your matcha at room temperature or in the fridge if you prefer. If you are storing your matcha in the fridge, be sure to bring the matcha to room temperature before using.
If your matcha has a yellowish or brownish colour to it, this usually indicates that mature leaves were used to make your matcha, making it a lower quality matcha. This leads to your matcha tasting more bitter.
