Iced Matcha Latte with Almond Milk – Refreshing Dairy-Free Drink
The Iced Matcha Latte with Almond Milk is a café-style drink you can easily prepare at home. Matcha, a finely ground green tea powder from Japan, is whisked with a bit of hot water to unlock its earthy, umami-rich flavor. By pouring it over chilled almond milk and ice, you get a smooth and creamy latte that’s both refreshing and energizing. Unlike coffee, matcha provides a steady release of caffeine combined with L-theanine, which helps support focus and calm energy. Whether enjoyed in the morning, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or as a healthy treat, this iced latte is as beautiful as it is delicious.
