Description
A creamy and refreshing mango matcha latte that’s perfect for hot days, combining the sweetness of mango with the earthy flavor of matcha.
Ingredients
Mango Layer
- 1 cup Fresh mango chunks or 1/2 to 3/4 cup mango puree (Use ripe mango for best flavor.)
- 3/4 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy) (Coconut milk, oat milk, or almond milk are great options.)
- 1 tablespoon Honey, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice (optional) (Adjust sweetness to taste.)
- 1 pinch Vanilla extract (optional) (A tiny splash for a dessert-like flavor.)
Matcha Layer
- 1-2 teaspoons Matcha powder (Start with 1 teaspoon if new to matcha.)
- 2-3 tablespoons Cold water (To whisk the matcha.)
- Ice as needed Ice cubes (A big handful for serving.)
Instructions
Make the Mango Layer
- Blend 1 cup mango chunks with a splash of milk or water, until thick and smooth.
- Taste it and add honey or maple syrup if the mango is not sweet.
Fill the Glass
- Spoon the mango puree into a tall glass. Add a handful of ice.
- Pour in milk until the glass is about three-quarters full.
Whisk the Matcha
- In a small bowl, add matcha and cold water. Whisk until smooth and frothy.
- For a creamier texture, whisk with a tablespoon of milk too.
Pour and Enjoy
- Slowly pour the matcha over the milk. Pour it over the back of a spoon for layered effect.
- Give it a gentle stir just before drinking, if desired.
Notes
Use enough ice to keep the drink cold. For variations, consider using coconut milk, adding strawberries, or trying a spicy twist with a pinch of chili powder.
