Notes
Storage
Hot matcha lattes are best enjoyed immediately. The iced version can be refrigerated and be enjoyed the following day. You can also make the iced version up to 1 day ahead of time. In order to do so, make the iced matcha latte then store it in an air-tight jar in the refrigerator overnight. When you are ready to enjoy the iced vanilla latte, top it with fresh foam or whipped cream.
Top tips
If you don’t have a bamboo whisk to whisk the matcha, use a metal whisk or milk frother.
For iced matcha latte, chill your glasses in the fridge to ensure your latte stays cold and fresh longer.
Use ceremonial or premium grade matcha to ensure your latte has a true matcha flavor.
