Description
This whipped matcha latte is a creamy, vibrant green drink made by whipping matcha powder with sugar and cream, then layering it over cold milk and ice. It offers a rich, earthy flavor with a light and fluffy texture, perfect for a refreshing twist on the classic matcha latte.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder (high quality)
- 120 grams (½ cup) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 400 grams (1¾ cups) milk (whole or oat milk preferred)
- Ice (for serving)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the matcha powder with 6 tablespoons of cold heavy cream to form a smooth paste, eliminating lumps.
- Add the remaining heavy cream and sugar to the bowl.
- Whip the mixture using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form (2–4 minutes with a mixer).
- Fill two glasses halfway with ice and pour in the milk.
- Spoon the whipped matcha over the milk to form a top layer.
- Stir before drinking to combine the flavors and textures.
Notes
- Use ceremonial-grade matcha for brighter color and smoother flavor.
- Swap heavy cream and milk for plant-based alternatives to make it dairy-free.
- Reduce sugar or use honey/maple syrup for less sweetness.
- Skip ice and heat milk for a warm version.
- Best served fresh; store whipped topping separately in fridge for up to 24 hours.
