Iced Lavender Oat Milk Matcha Latte - featured image

A creamy and floral iced latte combining earthy matcha, soothing lavender syrup, and smooth oat milk for a refreshing and calming drink perfect for warm weather.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon (about 2 grams) matcha powder (ceremonial or culinary grade)
  • 8 ounces (240 ml) oat milk (barista-style recommended)
  • 12 tablespoons lavender syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave for extra sweetness
  • Ice cubes or frozen oat milk cubes
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) hot water (about 175°F/80°C)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lavender syrup (if homemade): In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (240 ml) water, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let steep 15 minutes. Strain syrup into a clean jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Measure 1 teaspoon (about 2 grams) matcha powder and sift through a fine mesh sieve to remove clumps.
  3. Heat 2 ounces (60 ml) of water to about 175°F (80°C), avoiding boiling.
  4. Add hot water to the matcha powder in a bowl or cup and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until frothy and bright green, about 20 seconds.
  5. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons lavender syrup and optional 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave for sweetness.
  6. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes or frozen oat milk cubes.
  7. Pour 8 ounces (240 ml) chilled oat milk over the ice.
  8. Slowly pour the whisked matcha mixture over the oat milk. Stir gently or leave layered for an ombré effect.
  9. Optional: Froth a small amount of oat milk and spoon on top for an elegant touch.
  10. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.

Notes

Use water at about 175°F (80°C) to avoid bitterness in matcha. Sift matcha powder before whisking for smooth texture. Lavender syrup can be homemade or store-bought; adjust sweetness to taste. Frozen oat milk cubes help prevent dilution. The latte is best served immediately. Leftover lavender syrup keeps up to two weeks refrigerated.
