How to Make the Perfect Iced Matcha Latte. Cool, Creamy & Crafted

When the sun’s shining over the UK, few drinks hit the spot quite like an iced matcha latte. Refreshing, naturally energising, and seriously photogenic, it’s the kind of drink that looks good and does good, especially when it’s made with high-quality matcha like OMGTea's AA Grade Matcha.

At Small Batch Coffee, we believe in craft, flavour, and working with expert producers. That’s why we’ve partnered with fellow Brighton makers OMGTea, whose AA Grade Matcha is as premium as it gets, bright green, smooth, and packed with depth.

Here’s how to whip up a chilled matcha moment that’s easy, satisfying, and endlessly customisable.

Iced Matcha Latte Recipe

What you’ll need:

• 1g of OMGTea AA Grade Matcha
  

• 30ml of hot water (about 70–80°C)
  

• Ice
  

• Your milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  

• Optional: Flavoured syrup (vanilla, caramel, coconut — go wild!)
  

• A matcha whisk or electric frother
  

• A sieve or tea strainer

Method

1. Sift your matcha
Use a fine sieve to sift 1g of matcha into your bowl or cup. This ensures your matcha blends smoothly — no clumps, just silky texture.

2. Add hot water
Pour in 30ml of hot (but not boiling!) water. Around 70–80°C is ideal to preserve the flavour.

3. Whisk it up
Using your matcha whisk or a handheld electric frother, whisk in a ‘W’ or ‘M’ motion until your matcha becomes a smooth, vibrant green paste with a light foam.

4. Build your iced latte
Fill a glass with plenty of ice, then pour in your milk of choice. Oat milk, almond, soy, or full-fat dairy — whatever suits your vibe.

5. Add the matcha
Slowly pour your whisked matcha over the milk. Watch as it cascades through the ice — it’s like a tiny green waterfall in your glass.

6. Stir, sip, enjoy
Grab a straw, give it a swirl, and enjoy that refreshing hit of matcha goodness.

Tip: Add a dash of flavoured syrup for a personalised twist — try vanilla for a creamy kick, or coconut for tropical summer vibes.

Why Use High-Quality Matcha? 

Matcha is all about flavour, and the quality makes all the difference. With OMGTea’s AA Grade Matcha, you’re getting beautifully balanced umami, a natural sweetness, and vibrant colour, nothing bitter, murky or dull.

Cheaper matcha powders often fall flat. But OMGTea Matcha is premium, shade-grown, stone-ground matcha that’s designed to taste as good cold as it does hot. We wouldn’t use anything less.
