I’ve been experimenting again in the kitchen making drinks and have created another favorite!! This one is a perfect morning drink as it does have a small amount of caffeine and well I can’t handle caffeine much after 1pm!
This one is super simple to make and comes together in just a few minutes but is so tasty, looks amazing and is sure to impress any friends who might stop by and want a little drink mid morning!!
I’ve never been a fan of Matcha because it does have a pretty strong taste but I discovered by adding some vanilla syrup and frothed milk and using a little less powder you can get a more subtle and super delicious flavor! This is cold, refreshing and the perfect drink for a mid morning boost!
Iced Vanilla Matcha Green Tea Recipe
Makes a 20oz drink
- 2-3 tsp jade leaf matcha latte mix
- 1 Tbs French vanilla syrup
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup milk Ice
- Boil water
- Add powder and stir
- Add vanilla syrup to water and matcha mixture, stir
- Cold froth milk
- Fill the glass with ice
- Pour match mixture over ice and then pour frothed milk in, stir and enjoy!
Start by boiling water. Pour a quarter of a cup of water into a liquid measuring cup or mug. Add 2-3 tsp of the Jade lead matcha latte mix. I prefer 2 teaspoons as I don’t love a strong taste but my girlfriend likes it a little stronger so I do hers with 3 teaspoons.
I’m sure there are a ton of different kinds of matcha powder but I did a little research and this one seemed to be one of the best and turned out to be amazing so we are sticking with it! Stir the powder in the water thoroughly until all the powder dissolves. Once mixed in add 2 pumps of Monin French vanilla syrup. (this equals about 1 tablespoon of syrup) you could also just add sugar to the mixture but the French vanilla syrup is amazing! If you prefer a drink that isn’t super sweet just skip the syrup.
Fill your 20oz glass with ice, here’s the ones I love from Amazon
Cold froth 1/2 of milk(I use whole milk but you can use whatever you’d like) I recently purchased this frothed and it is seriously one of the best purchases! It works amazing for both hot and cold frothing and looks great too!! I highly recommend it! Grab yours here!!
Pour matcha mixture in glass of ice first and then pour in frothed milk. Stir and enjoy!
