Iced Matcha Lattes for Beginners
I gave up coffee years ago when my body decided to stage a toddler-like revolt against it, complete with racing thoughts and shaky hands. Giving up coffee itself wasn’t the worst, but I desperately missed the ritual of it. I longed for a little cup of something to start my day: a mug to wrap my hands around or an icy beverage to wake me up as I faced the afternoon. And sure, a little burst of energy would be nice, too.
I tried matcha on a whim and never looked back. Surprisingly, I experienced a notable lift in my focus and energy, but without the crash, dizziness, or shakiness I experienced with coffee. And as an added bonus, I found matcha to be absolutely delicious! Smooth and subtly sweet with a hint of umami, I couldn’t get enough of this bright green drink.
For the last three years, I’ve been making a matcha drink at home for myself almost every single day. I’ve done a full, nerdy deep dive on how to make the best matcha, from water temperature to flavor pairings.
I’ve shared everything I know about hot matcha lattes already, but now we’re diving into Iced Matcha Lattes. I’ve included all my tips so you can make a refreshing, energizing, and creamy iced matcha latte that’s perfectly tailored to your tastes.,
