INGREDIENTS

1 tsp matcha powder

1 cup of Milk – Use any milk you like—dairy or non-dairy.

2 tbsp cane sugar – A small amount of sugar in the blueberry sauce enhances sweetness and reduces tartness. Maple syrup is a great alternative!

½ cup blueberries (Frozen or Fresh) – Frozen blueberries take longer to soften during cooking.

Water and Ice Cubes – You will need water to make the Matcha tea and water to cook the blueberries. To serve, you will need ice cubes.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make the Matcha Shot

Gather your tools: a matcha whisk (bamboo or regular), spoon, fine mesh strainer, electric milk frother (optional), kettle, and matcha bowl or small bowl.

Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into your matcha bowl using the strainer.

Use the back of a spoon to press the powder through, ensuring there are no clumps. This step is crucial for a smooth, lump-free drink.

Heat water to 60-80°C (140-176°F) and add 2 tablespoons of hot water to the matcha powder.

Whisk briskly in a zig-zag (W or M) motion for about 20-30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and frothy. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Blueberry Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of blueberries (fresh or frozen), 1 tablespoon of cane sugar, and 1 tablespoon of water.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soft and juicy, about 5-7 minutes.

For a smooth sauce, strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract the liquid and leave the pulp behind.

If you prefer a textured drink, mash the cooked blueberries with a potato masher and use the mixture as-is. Let the sauce cool.

3. Assemble the Iced Matcha Latte

Fill a glass with ice cubes.

Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the blueberry sauce into the glass, followed by 1 cup of your preferred milk (dairy or plant-based).

Slowly pour the prepared matcha shot over the back of a spoon into the glass to create a layered effect.

4. Enjoy

Use a straw to stir the drink gently, blending the vibrant purple-blueberry layer with the green matcha.

Watch the colors swirl together into a beautiful purple-green hue.

Sip and enjoy this refreshing, antioxidant-packed treat!
