Iced Mason Jar Matcha Latte

This Iced Mason Jar Matcha Latte from The Whole Smiths is soon to be your new favorite afternoon beverage. If you can measure and shake, you can make this. Creamy, delicious and economical. Not to mention, it’s dairy-free!

I love me some fancy beverages. All sorts. From sparkling, to coffee, teas, kombuchas, you name it. I guess fancy is not the right word though, maybe “special” is a better word. I absolutely love the ritual of sitting down and sipping on something delicious that feels special. In fact, we have a second refrigerator in our garage that has become a mecca for all these types of drinks.

I will say, however I’ve really backed off from getting drinks at coffee shops these as I’ve come to realize they’re A. overpriced B. I can usually make them at home just as (if not more) delicious and C. they’re filled with lots of sugar and chemicals. This Iced Mason Jar Matcha Latte proves you no longer need a fancy shop preparing your favorite specialty drinks. #Sorrynotsorry coffee shops.

What is matcha? 

If you aren’t familiar with matcha, it’s essentially powdered green tea leaves. I mean, it’s more complex than that but for brevity sake let’s call it that. Whenever I share this recipe on Instagram, I get a lot of messages asking, “What does matcha taste like?”. Well, it tastes like green tea. When you make it into a latte it tastes like a lightly sweetened, creamy green tea. Which is delicious.

Green tea has so many benefits and matcha and known to be a superfood has all of those benefits condensed down. It’s known primarily for it’s antioxidant properties. So not only can you enjoy how delicious this drink is you can also feel good knowing it’s good for you.

So let’s talk matcha. My absolute favorite comes from Pique Tea, they make a fabulous ceremonial grade matcha that is great for on-the-go. Not only is the taste phenomenal but it’s organic and quadruple screened for any toxins, mold etc. Feel free to head to their site to learn more.

With that said, you can use any matcha for this recipe, that one’s just my particular favorite. Amazon also has a great one from Matcha Bar and heck, even Costco has matcha these days (but if you’re looking for quality that one isn’t going to be your best choice).

You’ll also need a mason jar. Or a shakable drink shaker sort of thing. But really, a mason jar is the easiest. You’ve bound to have some already in your pantry somewhere so you’re already a step ahead. What you may not have however are these great plastic lids that you can use on your mason jars. I love these. Those metal ones that come with the jars get rusty and gross, I love the ring etc. These ones are so much easier to manage.

On to how to make these… you add your ice, add your ingredients and pretend you’re Tom Cruise in Cocktail and SHAKE! Shake, shake, shake.

Then sip. That’s it! The world’s easiest Iced Matcha Latte for you.

What type of dairy-free milk works best with this recipe?

Personally I like a light coconut milk beverage, ie NOT a canned coconut milk. My favorite is the Real Coco brand which you can find on Amazon. I love that it’s organic and doesn’t have a heavy coconut flavor to it, just a hint. I also am a huge fan of it’s texture for this drink. Of course use your favorite almond, oat or soy milk as well.

What dairy-free creamer works best?

My favorite these days is from Nutpods. Hands down. I love the wide variety of flavors they have as well as various options. I usually will use the vanilla flavor in this one but the caramel oddly works really well too. They also have a line of oat milk-based creamers that I’ve been enjoying. But truly, any dairy-free creamer will work for you. In fact, ANY milk will. If you want to get crazy with it add some good ‘ol fashioned cream.

Tips

  • Shake the matcha well and a bit longer than you may think you need to. This will ensure the matcha is smooth and ice cold.
  • Add a bit of collagen to your matcha for extra nutrients!
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of maple you use in this recipe. Perhaps you prefer it a bit sweeter or with no sweetener at all. The amount in the recipe is just a starting point for you.

    Delicious! I had only tried matcha one time before, in the latte format from St*****ks, and didn’t care for it. But I saw your recipe and went to our local organic market and got some and made this today and love it.
