Ingredients
For the matcha
- 1 ½ teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (I used granulated white sugar)
- 3 oz water
- 6 oz milk
For the lavender cream-
- 1 oz lavender syrup
- 3 oz heavy cream
- 1-2 teaspoon powdered sugar
- 1 drop purple food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl or pitcher combine the ceremonial grade matcha powder, water and sweetener of choice. Mix thoroughly using a handheld frother or matcha whisk to avoid lumps.
- Prepare your glass with ice and over the ice add your prepared matcha
- Once you've added the matcha to your glass, pour in your milk of choice to the glass.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, lavender syrup and food coloring. Use your handheld frother to combine and make into a whipped cream.
- Pour the whipped lavender cream over the matcha iced latte and enjoy.
Notes
Variations for this iced matcha with lavender cold foam
- The starbucks version is made with creamt oat milk. However, feel free to use whatever type of milk you prefer like almond milk, coconut milk or soy milk
- If you don't have a matcha whisk, feel free to use a handheld electric frother to mix the matcha tea.
- If you don't want the color of the lavender foam to be a bright purple hue, simply omit the purple food coloring.
- Not interested in a very sweet drink, use less sugar in the matcha and in the sweet cream.
- Don't have lavender syrup? You can opt instead for 1 teaspoon of lavender extract
