Method
Matcha Concentrate
- 1
Sift matcha
Place 2 tsp matcha powder into a small fine-mesh sieve over a bowl or measuring cup. Tap or push the powder through to remove clumps for a smoother latte.
- 2
Bloom matcha
Add 120 ml hot water (~175°F / 80°C) to the sifted matcha. Whisk vigorously in a zig-zag or 'W' motion with a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small handheld frother for 15–30 seconds until frothy and fully dissolved.
- 3
Sweeten concentrate
Stir in 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or simple syrup into the warm matcha concentrate until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Allow concentrate to cool slightly (2–3 minutes) so it doesn’t melt the ice immediately.
Drink Assembly
- 4
Prepare glass
Fill a large (16–20 oz) serving glass with about 1 cup of ice cubes, leaving space at the top for milk and matcha.
- 5
Add milk and flavoring
Pour 12 oz cold milk over the ice. If using vanilla extract, add 1 tsp now. If you prefer additional sweetness beyond the concentrate, add up to 1 tsp sweetener (simple syrup blends easiest).

Finish and serve
Taste and adjust: add more sweetener if desired, stir again, and serve with a straw. Optionally top with a tiny dusting of matcha powder for garnish.
