Starbucks Hack: Make Your Own Iced Matcha Latte At Home

Make-Your-Own-Iced-Matcha-Latte-At-Home

There has been a significant boom in the popularity of matcha boba or bubble tea around the world in the past few years. Its cool, refreshing taste is balanced out by the earthy flavour of the tapioca pearls and sweet milk tea.

The Starbucks stores, however, do not offer boba. Alternatively, customers can opt for refreshing iced teas and drinks from Starbucks. However, they still offer matcha lattes without it.

It has been quite some time since Starbucks introduced the matcha latte to its menu. Perhaps you’ve enjoyed it yourself or wondered what that bright green drink was that people left Starbucks with. However, store-bought drinks contain unhealthy amounts of sugar. Maximise the health benefits of matcha, Make Your Own Iced Matcha Latte At HomeStarbucks Iced Matcha Latte but healthier.

Ingredients

Choosing the right ingredients is the key to a rich-tasting high-quality matcha drink. Consider the following tips for better results:

  • Choose an unsweetened pure matcha powder—it’s healthier and more authentic!
  • Use milk that you prefer that fits your diet and one that will not overpower the flavour of the matcha. It is Starbucks’ 2% milk (reduced fat milk) that gives their lattes their creamy texture and taste; however, you are welcome to use any milk alternative or cow’s milk of your choice. A matcha drink made with oat milk or soy milk will bring out its flavour. The coconut milk version, however, will leave you with an undertone of coconut.
  • Iced lattes taste great when sweetened with simple syrup since it mixes well with a cold beverage. Water and sugar are all that’s in it. Alternatively, maple syrup or any other sweetener of your choice can be used if you are looking for a healthier alternative.
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1–2 Tsp Matcha Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Simple or Maple Syrup
  • Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Cup Ice
  1. Add milk, matcha powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract to the blender.
