Best Vegan Matcha Latte

First time making a Matcha Latte & it was delicious! I made mine iced –+
I didn’t have maple syrup or honey…so I substituted with 1 T. Agave nectar!
I used 1 1/2 c. Unsweetened coconut milk from a carton, as I did not have any other nut milk options available to me at home- Heated up, and frothed with a metal whisk for a few minutes until foamy.
Would definitely make again! Thanks!

You did it again! What a treat!! I made mine iced with coconut milk and vanilla almond milk since I currently have over a gallon of different plant based milks but no macadamia milk. I didn’t add the sweetener since the almond milk had sugar already. Took less than 2min! So delicious! My tea shop before we moved has this amazing lavender vanilla matcha latte…do you have any recommendations to add the lavender flavor? I got my matcha at a local tea shop that even let me bring my own container! Morning coffee, move over!

Thank you and the addition of maca is AMAZING.

perfect!

Best vegan matcha recipe! We used oat milk and it turned out delicious! I used 1 tbsp of maple syrup for my latte and 1tsp for my husbands (he doesn’t prefer his beverages to be sweet). We were both thrilled!

Thank you for this, loved the recipe, turned out better than expected.

Hi Dana

My first ever matcha latte, thank you for sharing your recipe, I used whole cows milk as I’m not lactose intolerant and it was lovely. Without your recipes I wouldn’t have even come accross matcha (other than in the form of teabags which I really dont like) this was lovely though. I had a thought…have you ever tried adding the matcha powder to oatmeal? Would love to see a recipe like this on your site 😃 I might give it ago myself but I’m no expert in the kitchen with experimenting haha. I was just thinking I eat oatmeal every morning whatever the weather so rather than adding extra calories in form of a matcha latte why not add the matcha to my breakfast? 😋

Thanks again Dana, love your site and your vibes, never stop please 🙏 😊

It is actually the Best Vegan Matcha Latte.

Made with oat milk and brown sugar as the sweetener – would highly recommend! Very quick, easy, and delicious.

This recipe is just what I was looking for :) used oat milk and the taste is pure heaven!

This recipe is BOMB! Made a few modifications (used oat milk and honey since I didn’t have maple syrup or Stevia) and this latte still came out creamy and delicious. Thank you Dana!

Loved it! I’ve always liked getting them at coffee places, so I wanted to try my own. I make my own oat milk and it’s all I had on hand, it super smooth and tasty! ???

I tried this in my blender. It was good, but I have to say that I missed the consistency of when I use whole almonds instead of almond milk or coconut milk. What I do (and maybe is not considered matcha) is I soak a quarter cup of almonds overnight, then next morning I boil about 2 cups of water with 4 dry figs (I cut off the ends of the figs first). Then when they boil I pull out the figs, pour the soaked and rinsed almonds in the blender, the 2 cups of hot water where the figs boiled next, and the figs, and finally a heaping teaspoon of matcha powder. I blend on high speed for about 3 minutes, pour on a big mug, and sprinkle with cinnamon powder. It comes out foamy, creamy, and delicious. I do not strain the blend, so the whole almonds are there, but it gives my drink a creamy consistency that I love.

This was so yummy and cozy and easy to make! I love that you don’t have to mix this latte in a blender. It took basically the same effort as a simple cup of tea, but was so creamy. Thank you! :-)

Try Oat Milk. Oh yeah!!

Love matcha. This is so good. I added a little vanilla protein, used soy instead of coconut and fiber for extra filling feeling. Perfect pick me up/snack. I also put mine in a blender before i put it over ice to ensure it wasnt clumpy. So yumm

Forgot my rating! 6 stars if I could!

Perfect directions! And I have done some experiments, finding my favorite combo to be oat milk and monkfruit as a sweetener. Thank you for this recipe!!

So good!! I used less matcha (1/2 tsp) and the coconut cashew milk recipe from here with so delicious coconut milk from the carton and maple syrup.

When dissolving the matcha I used 1 tbsp matcha, 3 tbsp hot water and 1 tbsp maple syrup. I substituted the macadamia nut milk for almond milk (just because it’s what I had) and used the canned organic coconut milk from Sprouts. I used the microwave to steam the combined almond milk and coconut milk and it didnt froth up as much as I expected but that didnt really bother me since I was serving it over ice anyways. After “steaming” the milk I poured it over ice in a tall glass, added the disolved matcha and stirred to keep the matcha from sinking to the bottom. Doubling the amount of matcha worked out just fine because in the past when I used almond milk to make a matcha latte, the almond milk was surprisingly overpowering for being of original flavor and unsweetened. So if using almond milk I would suggest using extra matcha to compensate for the boldness of the almond milk. The coconut milk worked great to smooth out the flavor as well. I know I changed a few things but this recipe is a good reference for understanding the proportions for dissolving the matcha and helped me get closer to the ideal flavor :)

I made this yesterday before I left for work and shook it up in a blender bottle since I didn’t have a whisk. It worked rather well I might add! It was delicious.

I used lite coconut milk and ripple milk. I added stevia and coconut butter and it was sooooo good!!! What a treat!! Thank you!

My favourite drink ever! Always get all my recipes from minimalist baker and they never fail to amaze me. I used oat milk and tastes amazing. :)

Love this recipe! I used Califia toasted coconut milk, added cinnamon and blended this up in my blendtec since I do not have a frother or a matcha whisk!

Never thought I would enjoy matcha…but omg….so yummy!! And super soothing. I made this with oat milk. Highly recommend.

Hi! This is the best recipe that I’ve found (and I’ve tried a lot). I’ve tried different kinds of milk, but my favorite so far is cashew milk. Thanks for a great recipe!!!

I made a matcha paste just like you did and used my frother to warm almond milk and blended it all …poured into a glass filled with ice and enjoyed! Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

Very light and smooth; just enough matcha and sweetness that you can enjoy the flavour and not have it be overpowering. I used almond milk, honey, and heated the milk over the stove. I find that almond milk doesn’t take kindly to the microwave.

Love this matcha latte with the maca powder! It prompted me to make macadamia nut milk for the first time and coconut milk from scratch. So worth it. This is a real crowd pleaser with non-vegans.
Thank you!!

Yum!!! I used oat milk & made it into an iced latte and it was DELICIOUS! I drank it in about 10 seconds flat :)

Yum!

Deliciously perfect! Really nailed it! Thanks for sharing. My new daily morning drink

Yum delicious! I didn’t have coconut milk – and used my new favorite Oately Oat milk – it was superb!! Thank you!

So tasty. I used light coconut milk and soy milk, with monk fruit sweetener. It is soooooo good. Green tea has a nice flavor with the coconut milk. Thanks for a great recipe.

Thank you for this recipe! LOVE it

I’m late to the matcha game and I almost thought I made a bad choice buying it after making a latte that tasted terrible. Found this recipe and gave it a try and boy am I ever glad I did! I used only coconut milk because that’s all I had and I also added the Maca as well. Didn’t have coconut butter so used cacao butter instead and I absolutely love it! It’s so silky smooth and creamy and yummy and I will be making this again, for sure!! Thanks for sharing this…your recipes never let me down!! This for sure will be a new favourite to enjoy :)

This was a great recipe! I used slightly more macadamia but milk than the coconut as I think coconut sometimes tends to be overpowering. Will try to order the Townsends matcha as the Whole Foods out my way only has two choices and they are insanely expensive! Thanks!

This recipe is delicious!!! I used Matcha Organic Powder by “Kiss me Organics”. I used local honey since I didn’t have any Maple Syrup on hand.

Best matcha recipe ever!

This was my first time making matcha green tea latte after trying one for over $5 at Starbucks. This recipe was so much better!! I ordered my matcha from Amazon and received it yesterday. Woke up this morning and googled a recipe and yours popped up! Bookmarked for sure.

I need to buy a bamboo whisk because mine was useless but I made it work. Plus I need a frother.
Anyway.
So I used a can of coconut milk and added soy milk. I didn’t have macadamia milk, though I’m sure it’s a tasty alternative. The soy worked great. Used the left over to make my kiddo a hot chocolate.
Just want to say that I loved your recipe and suggestions. Thank you !!

I love mine with no sugar at all lol. I absolutely love matcha powder! I’ve been buying Matcha Lattes at a cafe lately so it’s awesome to be able to make my own at home. Thanks for the recipe :)

Loved this recipe! I’d recommend trying it with hemp milk for an earthy wholesome latte!

Note to the Author – You might want to specify the water temperature in your first step. Some people will assume recently boiled water 95c+ (200f+) which turns the matcha very bitter. As another commenter mentioned, 80c (175f) is pretty much the sweet spot for matcha.

I just made this recipe with coconut milk, coconut oil and maca powder along with my http://www.matchayutea.com culinary Matcha and it worked a treat! Thanks for sharing an awesome recipe! I want to learn latte art now too !

I am really late on the matcha trend.. this is my first time using matcha at home.
I just made this but used So Good unsweetened almond coconut milk (I am in Australia so not sure if you have this overseas) and half the sweetener. I don’t have a traditional matcha whisk however so I used a handheld battery operated milk frother and it turned out nice and creamy.
Thanks for the great recipe and it was super yummy!

This is so good! I used half cashew milk and half almond milk and really enjoyed it! Thanks for the recipe and product recommendations!

Super delish recipe! Thank you! I had unsweetened almond milk and Trader Joe’s light coconut milk on hand. Yum! Look forward to having it again tomorrow morning.

I’ve been using this recipe for months, it’s wonderful! I too am a caffeine addict who drinks way too much coffee and this has been a great, less jittery alternative! I personally use almond milk in mine, and it’s still very good, but I love almond milk so I’m biased. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

I could not figure out how to make a matcha latte without clumps (may sounds silly) and this recipe led me to a smooth and delicious latte! Thank you! :)

I just made this! I agree that I don’t usually enjoy almond milk with matcha, but I used what I had on hand and it turned out very coconutty and creamy and I’m in love! I used 1 1/2 cup almond milk and 1/4 coconut cream from TJ’s. Its delicious – thanks for the recipe

Love, love, love! I have the bamboo whisk and do recommend it- HOWEVER, the trick to a good blend is warming up your cup with piping hot water first. Just pour a bit of your piping hot water in your cup of choice until warm (a few seconds) and pour out. Then, add your matcha and just enough hot water to whisk matcha until all lumps are dissolved. Lastly, add remaining hot water and hot milk (I used coconut milk) – sweeten to taste and enjoy sip by sip – aahhh!! Yummy!!!

Delicious! I’m rationing my coconut milk until I can get to TJ’s again so I used Califia original unsweetened almond milk. Yummy + easy, I used a smaller whisk to blend the powder and to froth the warm milk. I’ll be making this a lot this winter ?

Beautiful recipe. I did half and half coconut and rice milk and it turned out so nice. Would love to try coconut and macadamia milk because it sounds delicious.

I just made this using oat milk that I made in my blendtec. Although I strained the milk with cheesecloth, it was still quite thick and made the consistency a little too thick for my liking. I recently had a matcha latte with packaged oat milk and it was excellent so I think I need to do a better job straining my oat milk.

I immediately became addicted to this and for a while I made this every day. Unfortunately I have a hard time finding lite coconut milk in Germany, so I used full fat which was a bit much.

I’m wondering if others have tried it with almond milk and had problems with the milk separating as the latte sits for a minute? Sort of like when you put almond or coconut milk into iced coffee and it looks as though it has curdled. It tasted fine but the appearance isn’t so nice.

Silly me read the ingredients wrong. I made it with coconut milk instead of macadamia milk. Still good! Thanks for the recipe!!

I’ll have to check out the macadamia milk, but I agree that coconut milk is perfect with matcha! I used half coconut, half almond milk because that’s what I had on hand. The French press is another way to froth milk for lattes at home. It works great and is easy to clean. Also going to check out the bamboo whisk. I can never quite get all to blend with my metal whisk. Thanks!

I just made this and it tasted a little bit bitter but it is my first time drinking a Matcha Latte. I used the Organic Matcha brand you recommended as well as the MILKADAMIA. I used the THAI ORGANIC full fat coconut milk. I think next time I’ll try and use different types of non dairy milks.
Thank you this recipe.

Love this recipe–turned out so yummy! Jade Leaf Matcha (your Amazon link) also has an office in Portland now :).

I’ve made this everyday this week with cashew milk since that’s what I have on hand and it’s SO GOOD and simple! Thanks for a great recipe!

I love all of your recipes and this one was no exception! I made the iced option and ended up using half light coconut milk and half homemade almond milk. I’ll have to try it with macadamia nut milk soon, though I might have to make my own!
Thanks for the great recipe.

To avoid bitter matcha you need to have the hot water at 80° C (not hotter).

I’ve just gotten into matcha lately (late to the game, I know) and am completely obsessed with making lattes like this! I’m glad you recommended some brands because I’ve noticed that buying the good stuff makes LOADS of difference. I thought I hated matcha at first but it was just because mine wasn’t good quality and was bitter. I’m in Portland too so I’ll have to check out Townshends. :)

PS – I just started your online photography course and absolutely love it! If you ever do a Portland meet up or in person training, I’d love to come!
