Ingredients
Brown Sugar Syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon water
Matcha Latte
- 1 ½ teaspoons matcha powder
- 3 tablespoons water
- Ice to serve
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup oat milk
Instructions
- Prepare Brown Sugar Syrup: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of water. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute. Carefully remove the bowl and stir until the brown sugar is completely dissolved. Let the syrup cool; it will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Make the Matcha: Sift 1 ½ teaspoons of matcha powder into a mug or small bowl to remove lumps. Add 3 tablespoons of water and whisk vigorously until the matcha is fully dissolved and has a frothy texture on top.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a 16 oz cup or mason jar with ice. Pour in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 3/4 cup of oat milk, the prepared brown sugar syrup, and the frothy matcha mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly with a straw or spoon, then enjoy your refreshing iced vanilla matcha latte!
Notes
- Use a matcha whisk or small regular whisk for best frothing results.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar syrup according to your taste.
- Oat milk can be substituted with other plant-based milks like almond or soy for different flavors.
- For an extra cold drink, chill the oat milk before assembling.
- Be cautious when removing the bowl from the microwave as it may be hot.
