How to Make an Iced Matcha Latte

Whisk the matcha:
Combine matcha and hot water in a bowl. Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until smooth and frothy.
Fill a glass with ice.
Pour in milk (and sweetener if desired), then stir gently.
*If it’s not sweetened, the matcha and milk may not form clean layers.
Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the milk to create a layered effect.
Stir, sip, and enjoy your refreshing iced matcha latte.
