An iced matcha latte is refreshing, energising, and perfect for Malaysia’s warm climate. With its vibrant green colour, creamy texture, and balanced flavour, it has become a favourite in cafés worldwide. The best part? You can easily prepare it at home with just a few simple steps.
Why Iced Matcha Latte?
Matcha offers a unique energy boost — its natural caffeine combines with L-theanine to give you calm focus without the crash often associated with coffee. When served over ice, it becomes a cool, invigorating drink that’s as good for afternoons at work as it is for leisurely weekends.

-
Always whisk the matcha with warm water first before adding cold milk — this ensures full flavour and vibrant colour.
-
Use clear glasses to show off the striking layers of green matcha and white milk.

Experiment with sweeteners: sugar syrup, honey, or even no sweetener at all.
