How to Make a Matcha Green Tea Latte
Find out how to make a cozy green tea latte with matcha powder and almond or coconut milk. Homemade matcha lattes are so easy to make and a nice alternative to coffee lattes.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed my first green tea latte, and it was so easy to make. It will definitely be replacing my morning coffee some days. A teaspoon of matcha green tea, some steamed milk, and a little sweetener is all you need. To get my green tea latte foamy on top I used a frother. I also use this fun tool for “kid cappuccinos” which are really just foamy steamed milk.
One of the things I love most about green tea is its ability to boost metabolism and protect against some diseases*. I made this refreshing and purifying iced green tea with slices of cucumber, lemon, and strawberries for you for spring. Both lemon and cucumber help detoxify our bodies, and strawberry adds antioxidants and tastes delicious. I’ve been keeping a jug of this tea in the fridge and sipping it whenever I need a little boost after a workout. It’s like a spa water-tea hybrid.
Which would you prefer – the latte or the fruity detox iced tea?
Detox Iced Green Tea
I like this to be a very watered down tea. If you want it to be stronger, just add more tea powder.

I am off to order the Matcha powder now! It is my favorite drink at Starbucks and I always want to try and recreate it at home! Both drinks look lovely!
I am trying to drink more green tea but I have never seen the matcha powder! Love this latte. Wish I was drinking one right now
I love matcha green tea, your latte looks delish!
Sitting in my backyard and drinking this sounds heavenly.
I am so obsessed with the matcha powder. I have been making lattes, and now must try the detox recipe you posted, looks delicious.
Now I definitely need to buy some Matcha and start experimenting! Love the idea of a matcha latte.
I love a nice green tea latte. I usually make my own – 5 bucks? No thanks! I'll make one specific to my tastes at home. Off to dig up my matcha powder…
I love the green tea lattes from Starbucks, but the calories are killers! I love making it at home!! Wonderful recipe!!
I like their matcha very much and usually make an iced version as well, it's so refreshing.
I am trying to place an order using the promotional code and it is telling me it is expired. Any ideas???
So sorry about that Tina! I'll contact the company rep and get back to you.
Okay, they said not to use the # and that it's not case sensitive. They are looking into any issues.
Well it is still not working. However, I want to get the tea so regardless I am ordering it. Which product are you using for your recipes? I see Matcha powder and U Matcha Natural…
excited to get your book too:)
That is so annoying! I'm sorry! I'll have to test out these codes next time I post one!
I used the U Matcha Natural
And Thank You!
Marina, thank you so much for posting this recipe. I love matcha, but I'm new to it. I've been wondering how to make a matcha latte for a while now but had no idea where to start. Excited to give this recipe a try.
I'm late! I never get the chance to have the free Matcha Green Tea. It looks refreshing! Perfect during summer time. I hope there will be next time.
