Quick answer: Dissolve one Lucarise matcha latte sachet in a little hot water, add cold milk and ice, stir, and finish with the topping if your flavour comes with one. No whisk and no measuring spoons.

An iced matcha latte is one of the easiest ways to enjoy matcha in warm weather. With an instant mix, there is nothing to sift or whisk, so it takes a couple of minutes. This recipe follows the same method written on our product pages. If you prefer a hot cup, see our guide on how to make a matcha latte.

Tips for a better iced matcha latte

  • Dissolve first: do not skip the hot water step. It is what keeps the drink smooth instead of lumpy.
  • Use cold milk: it keeps the ice from melting too fast, so the drink stays rich.
  • Adjust to taste: add more milk for a lighter drink, or less for a stronger matcha flavour.
  • Add the topping last: this keeps its crunch.

Why instant mix works well for iced drinks

Loose matcha powder can clump in cold liquid. A mix that already contains matcha, milk and creamer dissolves easily once it meets a little hot water, so you get a creamy result without a whisk. Our mixes are sweetened with stevia Reb-M and have no added sugar. If you are wondering what that means for a matcha latte, read our guide to a no-added-sugar matcha latte.

Iced matcha latte: quick questions

Can I make an iced matcha latte with instant matcha latte mix?

Yes. Dissolve the sachet in a little hot water first, then add cold milk and ice. Dissolving it in hot water helps the powder mix in smoothly before you add the cold ingredients.

Do I need a whisk or blender?

No. A spoon or a small handheld frother is enough, because the mix is already blended with matcha, milk and creamer.

Is this iced matcha latte sweetened?

Our matcha latte mixes are sweetened with stevia Reb-M and have no added sugar, so you do not need to add sweetener. Taste it first and adjust only if you want to.
