Iced Matcha Latte Recipe – How to make a fluffy iced Mushroom Matcha Latte at Home
Looking for a refreshing twist on your daily matcha fix? This fluffy iced mushroom matcha latte is not only creamy and delicious but also packed with health benefits. Whether you’re a wellness warrior or just curious about mushroom matcha, this easy iced latte recipe is the perfect at-home treat.
Why Mushroom Matcha?
Mushroom matcha combines the antioxidant-rich power of Japanese matcha green tea with the adaptogenic goodness of functional mushrooms like lion’s mane. These superfood mushrooms are known to help support focus without the jitters of coffee. Better Food Mood’s Mushroom Matcha also has ashwagandha and moringa, which can both help you relax, focus better and increase your energy levels.
What Makes This Iced Matcha Latte “Fluffy”?
The secret to the fluffy texture? Use a hand frother! After you’ve added oat milk, use a hand frother and whish for 3 – 5 minutes until you get a smooth, cloud-like consistency that feels like a treat from your favorite café.
Ingredients for a Fluffy Iced Mushroom Matcha Latte
- 3/4 tsp (30g) Better Food Mood Mushroom Matcha
- 30ml hot water (not boiling – around 175°F or 80°C)
- 1 cup milk of choice (oat, almond, or dairy)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweetness you can use honey or maple syrup)
- Ice cubes
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Whisk the Mushroom Matcha Powder
In a small bowl or matcha bowl, add your mushroom matcha powder. Add hot water and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a milk frother until frothy.
2. Add Vanilla extra and sweeten (If You Like)
Add vanilla extra and/or a little maple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweetened iced latte. Stir well to combine. (I didn’t add any sweetener and it still tasted absolutely delicious and refreshing. It makes for a healthier matcha latte without the sugar).
3. Add Milk and Ice
Pour in your milk of choice. Using a hand frother, whisk for about 3 – 5 minutes until the matcha latte looks super frothy. Fill a glass with ice cubes. Then gently pour the frothy matcha-mushroom latte over the top.
4. Stir and Enjoy
Give it a gentle stir. Sip and enjoy the earthy, energizing flavour. This delicious matcha latte is perfect for the morning or as an afternoon pick me up.
