A refreshing and dairy-free iced latte featuring creamy coconut milk cold foam and vibrant matcha, perfect for warm weather and a tropical twist on your usual coffee.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) matcha powder (ceremonial or culinary grade)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) hot water (about 175°F/80°C)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sweetener (simple syrup, agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup), adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk (for foam)
  • 4 oz (120 ml) cold brewed coffee or chilled espresso
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of hot water (about 175°F/80°C) and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until smooth and frothy, about 20-30 seconds.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of your preferred sweetener and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract into the matcha mixture. Adjust sweetness if desired.
  4. Pour ½ cup of full-fat coconut milk into a milk frother or a tightly sealed jar and froth vigorously until it doubles in volume and becomes thick and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour 4 oz of cold brewed coffee or chilled espresso over the ice.
  6. Gently pour the matcha mixture over the coffee to create a marbled effect.
  7. Spoon the thick coconut milk cold foam over the top of the drink.
  8. Serve immediately. Use a spoon or straw to mix gently before sipping, or enjoy the layered look.

Notes

Use full-fat canned coconut milk at room temperature for best foam. If no frother is available, shake coconut milk vigorously in a sealed jar. Prepare foam and matcha mixture just before serving to keep freshness. Avoid over-sweetening. Fresh matcha powder ensures vibrant color and flavor.
