The Key to a Delicious Iced Matcha Latte
Crafting the perfect iced matcha latte is all about finding the right balance of flavors and ingredients that suit your personal taste. Whether you prefer a traditional, earthy sip or a hint of sweetness, your choice of matcha and milk will make all the difference in creating a refreshing and satisfying matcha latte.
At Full Leaf Tea Company, we offer a variety of matcha options to help you find your ideal blend. For those seeking the smoothest, most vibrant matcha experience, our Ceremonial Matcha is the highest grade and perfect for the traditional method. If you prefer an unsweetened option, our Organic Premium Matcha is the most popular choice for its rich, slightly earthy flavor. And for a sweeter twist, our Organic Sweet Matcha combines the same premium matcha with cane sugar for a delightful balance. Ready to customize your iced matcha latte? Let’s get started!
Cocktail Style VS. Coffeehouse Style
There are two popular styles of crafting an iced matcha latte: Cocktail Style and Coffeehouse Style . For those who enjoy a smooth, frothy texture and a traditional experience, the Cocktail Style is ideal. This method creates a well-mixed, refreshing matcha latte with minimal effort. On the other hand, the Coffeehouse Style is perfect for those who prefer a sweeter option. This method blends the matcha more thoroughly and provides a more robust flavor with added sweetness. Your choice depends on whether you crave a purer matcha taste or a café-inspired treat.

Ingredients:
Directions:
Recipe One: Cocktail Style
- Grab a cocktail shaker or a sealable tumbler.
- Fill your container with your ice.
- Add your Ceremonial Matcha powder to the container. (Do not add hot water or whisk your matcha separately.)
- Add your syrup or some sugar if desired.
- Add your milk.
- Shake vigorously for ten seconds. This activates the matcha and ensures it is frothy. If you see some clumping occurring, do not worry, simply shake the cocktail shaker or tumbler a little more.
- Add the finished liquid to your beverage container of choice. Do not strain.
Recipe Two: Coffeehouse Style
Prepare your Organic Sweet Matcha by adding your matcha powder and 1 ounce of hot water into your matcha bowl. Whisk in a zig-zag motion until frothy (about 30 seconds to a minute). Set aside for later.
Add ice to a glass.
Add your syrup or sweetener of choice.
Pour the milk of your choice over the ice.
Top beverage with your prepared matcha.
