Dunkin Iced Matcha Latte Recipe
As the heat of the summer kicks in, there’s nothing quite like sipping a refreshing iced beverage to cool down. Enter the Dunkin’ iced matcha latte.
Equipment
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups creamy oat milk or dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons warm water not boiling
- 1 tablespoon Aiya Zen Café Blend ceremonial-grade matcha
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed ice
Instructions
- Making your own Dunkin’ iced matcha latte is simple, and you’ll be amazed at how well it turns out. Let’s break it down into manageable steps.
Step 1: Prepare the Matcha Mixture
- Start by measuring out 2 tablespoons of warm water into a small bowl. Ensure it’s not boiling. Add in 1 tablespoon of matcha powder.
- Whisk the mixture briskly using a bamboo whisk (or regular whisk) until it forms a smooth paste, free from clumps. This step is crucial, as clumps can affect the overall texture of your drink.
Step 2: Sweeten the Mix
- Once you have a smooth matcha mixture, it’s time to sweeten it. Stir in 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking, but remember that you want it to compliment the matcha, not overpower it.
Step 3: Combine with Milk
- Now, take 1 ½ cups of your creamy oat milk or dairy milk. In a glass, combine the sweetened matcha with the milk. Give it a good stir to ensure thorough mixing. That vibrant green color should start to emerge beautifully.
Step 4: Add Ice
- Next, add ½ cup of crushed ice to the glass. The ice not only chills the drink but also adds a nice crunch if you like it that way.
Step 5: Finish with Vanilla
- Lastly, drizzle in ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract. This adds a delightful depth of flavor, making your latte truly special. Stir again, and voila! Your homemade Dunkin’ iced matcha latte is ready to enjoy.
Notes
1. Quality Over Quantity: Use high-quality ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and health benefits.
2. Temperature Matters: Ensure your water is warm but not boiling to avoid burning the matcha.
3. Customize Sweetness: Adjust the honey or maple syrup to suit your taste. Try agave syrup for a lower glycemic option.
4. Mixing Method: A matcha whisk is helpful but not necessary. If you don’t have one, any whisk works, or you can use a milk frother.
5. Experiment with Milk: If you’re not committed to oat or dairy milk, try almond, soy, or coconut milk for different flavors.
