Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Start by sifting 1 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder into a small bowl to remove any lumps, ensuring a smooth texture in the latte.
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling, about 160°F or 70°C) to the matcha powder.
Using a bamboo whisk or a milk frother, whisk the matcha and water together in a 'W' shape until no lumps remain and the mixture becomes frothy.
Fill a glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk over the ice.
Add 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the almond milk for flavor enhancement.
Gently pour the whisked matcha tea over the almond milk and ice, allowing the layers to form in the glass.
Stir the mixture gently to combine all the flavors and ensure an even taste throughout the drink.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Whole30 Iced Matcha Latte!
