Iced matcha latte topped with silky vanilla cold foam — quick, elegant, and perfect for Mother's Day or a special treat.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Matcha Latte
01 - 2 teaspoons high-quality matcha green tea powder
02 - 1/2 cup hot water (about 176°F)
03 - 1 cup cold milk or dairy-free alternative
04 - 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional; to taste)
05 - Ice cubes, as needed
→ Vanilla Cold Foam
06 - 1/2 cup cold heavy cream
07 - 1/2 cup cold milk or dairy-free creamer
08 - 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
# Step-by-Step:
01 - Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl to remove lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
02 - Add the hot water to the sifted matcha and whisk briskly with a bamboo whisk or small whisk until fully dissolved and frothy.
03 - If desired, stir honey or maple syrup into the warm matcha, tasting and adjusting sweetness to preference.
04 - Divide ice between two tall glasses, pour the cold milk evenly into each glass, then gently pour the prepared matcha over the milk to create a layered effect.
05 - Combine cold heavy cream, cold milk or plant-based creamer, and vanilla syrup in a small mixing bowl or frother. Froth with a milk frother or whisk vigorously until thick, pillowy and roughly doubled in volume.
06 - Spoon the vanilla cold foam generously over each glass, garnish as desired, and serve immediately with a straw.
