What is the difference between iced matcha and iced matcha latte?
An iced matcha is made simply by whisking matcha with water and pouring it over ice. In contrast, an iced matcha latte includes milk, creating a creamier, smoother texture and a more mellow flavour. Both are refreshing, but the latte version is richer and more indulgent – perfect for ice tea recipe lovers seeking variety.
Why is iced matcha so good?
With its crisp flavour and light, creamy finish, iced matcha green tea latte is the perfect balance of refreshment and energy. The subtle sweetness and natural umami of ceremonial matcha shine through when served cold, making it a satisfying and nourishing matcha tea experience.
