A creamy iced matcha latte made with chilled coconut milk, smooth sweetened matcha, and golden toasted coconut flakes for a refreshing café-style drink at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder, sifted
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1 cup chilled coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
- Tiny pinch extra matcha powder for dusting, optional
Instructions
- Warm a small skillet over medium low heat for about 1 minute.
- Add the sifted matcha powder and warm water to a small bowl, then whisk until smooth and lightly frothy.
- Stir the maple syrup and vanilla extract into the matcha mixture.
- Add the coconut flakes to the warm skillet and toast for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until lightly golden and fragrant.
- Transfer the toasted coconut flakes to a small plate and let them cool.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.

Notes

- Use warm water instead of boiling water for a smoother flavor.
- Watch the coconut closely because it can toast quickly.
- Use carton coconut milk for a lighter drink or light canned coconut milk for a creamier texture.
