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.

Cocktail Style Directions:
- Grab a cocktail shaker or any sealable tumbler—whatever you have on hand! Fill it up with ice to keep things nice and chilled.
- Add the Ceremonial Matcha powder directly into the container. No need for hot water or a whisk—this method keeps things quick and easy!
- If you like your drink a little sweeter, add some simple syrup or sugar.
- Pour in your milk of choice.
- Now, shake it up! Give it a good, vigorous shake for about 10 seconds to make sure the matcha gets fully mixed and nice and frothy. If you notice any clumps, don’t stress—just shake it a little more!
- Pour everything straight into your glass—no need to strain. Sip and enjoy!
Coffeehouse Style Directions:
- Start by preparing your Organic Sweet Matcha: Add the matcha powder and 1 ounce of hot water to a matcha bowl. Whisk in a quick zig-zag motion for about 30 seconds to a minute until it gets frothy. Set aside for now.
- Fill your glass with ice.
- Add a splash of syrup or your favorite sweetener.
- Pour in the milk of your choice.
- Finish by topping your drink with the prepared matcha. Take a moment to admire those gorgeous layers, then stir and enjoy!
Health Benefits of Matcha
Matcha is loved for its high concentration of antioxidants, particularly catechins, which can benefit overall health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and boost the immune system. It also provides a unique combination of caffeine and L-theanine, which can enhance alertness and focus without the jitteriness of other caffeinated products.
To Finish Things Off...
No matter which style you choose, crafting your own iced matcha latte at home is a delicious and rewarding experience. Whether you love the frothy simplicity of the Cocktail Style or the sweet richness of the Coffeehouse Style, both offer a refreshing way to enjoy matcha any time of day.
