The Iced Matcha Latte is probably the most refreshing and easy coffee shop drink you can make at home. With only three ingredients and no special equipment required, you can make this iced drink exactly the way you like it!
Iced matcha lattes are made with matcha powder, water, and milk. You can add a little sweetness by mixing in a little honey or simple syrup or leave it unsweetened. Matcha does contain caffeine, though typically less than the same size serving of coffee. And if you’ve never had it before, I think an iced matcha latte tastes creamy, earthy, and complex.

Types of Matcha Powder
- Formal grades – The highest quality matcha powder, it is mainly used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies or as an independent drink. This type is the most expensive but has the best color and taste.
- Premium Grade – It can be used as a stand-alone beverage, but it can also be used in cooking or mixed into other beverages like lattes, smoothies, or cocktails. This type is a step below ceremonial grade, but is still a high-quality powder.
- Culinary/Ingredient Grade – Mainly used for cooking, baking, or blended drinks. Its quality may be lower than premium and ceremonial types of matcha, but this ingredient is still great for baked goods and other food projects.
