Easy Iced Mango Matcha Latte

This Iced Mango Matcha Latte is a layered drink made with sweet mango purée, earthy matcha, and creamy oat milk. It's refreshing, easy to make, and comes together in just 5 minutes!

The mango purée forms the base of the drink, while the matcha and oat milk are poured on top to create the layered look.

It only takes a few simple ingredients: ripe mango, matcha powder, sweetener, and oat milk.

Ingredients

To make this drink, you'll need:

Mango: For the best flavor, use a perfectly ripe, sweet mango. It should give slightly when gently squeezed. We will be blending the mango with water to create a simple mango purée.

Matcha: Matcha is smooth with a bitter, sweet, and earthy flavor. Use one you enjoy the taste of.

Agave Syrup: Just a teaspoon for additional sweetness. This helps balance the earthiness of the matcha.

See recipe card for quantities.

How to Make This Recipe

Serve this mango matcha as a refreshing afternoon drink or an easy homemade alternative to café-style matcha drinks.

The full written recipe can be found in the recipe card below.

Step 1: Peel and chop the ripe mango, then blend it with ¼ cup of water until smooth. You should have roughly ⅔ cup of purée.

Step 2: Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl using a fine mesh sieve.

Step 3: Add ¼ cup of hot water (not boiling) and whisk until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.

Step 4: Add ⅓ cup of mango purée to the bottom of a drinking glass.

Step 5: Add ice cubes and agave syrup.

Step 6: Pour in ½ cup of oat milk.

Step 7: Then, pour the matcha over the top. Give it a stir and enjoy!

Note: Mashing the mango can result in a chunky texture and less overall flavor. For the best taste, it's best to purée the mango.

Substitutions & Variations

You can change it to fit your preferences by adjusting the sweetness and creaminess to your exact liking.

• Oat milk: Choose a plant-based milk you enjoy is important. Soy, almond, cashew, or even coconut milk all work well!
• Agave syrup: Maple syrup or this simple brown sugar simple syrup can be used to sweeten the drink.
• Prefer a stronger flavor? Use up to 1½ teaspoons of matcha powder. I do not recommend using less than 1 teaspoon as it won't have enough matcha flavor.

Tips & Tricks

Choose a matcha you enjoy. Pick one that fits your taste and budget. Expensive isn't always better.

Sift your matcha. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove clumps for a smoother latte.

Find your liquid-to-matcha ratio. Start with 1 teaspoon matcha per ¼ cup hot (not boiling) water and ½ cup oat milk; increase matcha for a stronger flavor.

Use hot, not boiling, water. This prevents bitterness and preserves matcha's bright flavor.

Whisk well. A bamboo whisk or milk frother creates a frothy, creamy texture.

Storage

Leftover mango purée can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Prepared matcha should be served immediately.
