Start by sifting 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a small bowl to remove any clumps and ensure a smooth latte.
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (heated to about 175°F or 80°C) to the matcha powder. Use a bamboo whisk, electric whisk, or spoon to whisk the mixture in a zigzag pattern until the powder is fully dissolved and a smooth paste is formed.
Fill a glass with 1 cup of ice cubes. Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk over the ice.
Add 0.25 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the almond milk and stir until well combined.
Carefully pour the matcha mixture over the almond milk and ice. Stir gently to combine the layers if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing low sodium iced matcha latte.
