A soothing and energizing mint matcha latte blended with creamy vanilla sweet cream, perfect for a refreshing treat any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 8–10 fresh mint leaves (or 1/4 teaspoon mint extract)
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) hot water at about 175°F (80°C)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar, honey, or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for iced version)

Instructions

  1. Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps.
  2. Pour in 2 ounces (60 ml) of hot water (about 175°F or 80°C).
  3. Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion with a bamboo whisk or small whisk until smooth and frothy.
  4. Tear 8-10 fresh mint leaves slightly to release oils and add to the matcha bowl.
  5. Gently press the mint leaves with the back of a spoon to infuse flavor and let sit for 5 minutes.
  6. Heat 1 cup (240 ml) of milk over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling (around 150°F or 65°C).
  7. In a mixing bowl or jar, combine 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1-2 teaspoons sweetener.
  8. Whisk or shake vigorously until soft peaks form but before it turns into butter.
  9. Remove mint leaves from the matcha mixture.
  10. Pour warm milk into the matcha bowl and stir gently to blend.
  11. Pour the latte into a glass or mug.
  12. Slowly drizzle or spoon the vanilla sweet cream on top to create a layered effect.
  13. Optional: For iced version, add ice cubes before pouring the milk.

Notes

Use water at about 175°F (80°C) to avoid bitterness. Do not overwhip the cream to keep it soft and pourable. Fresh mint leaves provide the best flavor; mint extract can be used as a substitute. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
