A whimsical iced matcha latte topped with a vibrant purple blueberry foam. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for fall gatherings or a cozy afternoon treat, combining earthy matcha with creamy oat milk and a subtly sweet, berry-tinged foam.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons (about 6g) matcha powder, culinary grade
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) hot water (about 175°F / 80°C)
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened oat milk (barista blend preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon (about 10g) frozen blueberries
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons (5-10ml) maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1ml) pure vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes (a generous handful)

Instructions

  1. Sift 2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a small bowl to break up any clumps. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (about 175°F / 80°C). Whisk in a zigzag motion until the matcha is completely dissolved and you have a smooth, vibrant green paste (about 30 seconds).
  2. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the matcha paste. Whisk until fully combined.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the matcha mixture over the ice.
  4. Slowly pour 1 cup of oat milk over the matcha and ice. Do not stir.
  5. In a small blender or frother, combine 1 tablespoon of frozen blueberries with 2 tablespoons of oat milk. Blend on high for 20-30 seconds until the blueberries are completely pulverized and the mixture is a deep purple.
  6. Optional: Pour the purple mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove blueberry skins and seeds.
  7. Pour the purple milk into a milk frother or a jar with a tight lid. Froth for 15-20 seconds until doubled in volume and thick. If using a jar, shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
  8. Gently spoon the purple foam over the top of the iced latte. Do not pour.
  9. Optional: Garnish with a pinch of edible lavender or a dusting of matcha powder. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

Don’t skip sifting the matcha to avoid clumps. Use water just below boiling (175°F/80°C) to prevent bitterness. For the foam, use cold oat milk straight from the fridge for best results. The drink is best enjoyed immediately; layers will blend if stirred. For a thicker foam, use barista blend oat milk.
