So it might be a stretch to call this matcha green tea latte a Korean beverage but several Korean cookbooks for Western audiences included some matcha green tea desserts and beverages. This iced version of a matcha green tea latte was so good I figured if you don’t want to beat ‘em, join ‘em.
I’ve wanted to try matcha for a long time but never saw it reasonably priced in any grocery stores. When I saw a packet for under $5 I grabbed it and started experimenting. I thought it tasted best with a mix of water and milk. The water allowed the grassiness of the matcha to shine through while a bit of milk helped add creaminess.
Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte
Yield: 2-3 servings
Ingredients:
 2 cup water
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sweetened matcha green tea powder
2 cups ice
whipped cream, optional
Directions:
Heat the water and milk in a saucepan over low heat until warmed very slightly (this helps dissolve the matcha powder). Add the matcha powder and stir until dissolved. Combine in a blender with ice and pulse until the ice is partially crushed. Pour into individual glasses and top with whipped cream, if desired.
