This refreshing mango matcha latte combines the tropical sweetness of ripe mango with the earthy richness of matcha green tea for a vibrant, energizing iced drink that's perfect for summer.
INGREDIENTS
Mango Puree
- 1 whole ripe mango
Matcha Latte
- 2 tsp high quality matcha powder
- 1/4 c hot water
- 1 tsp sweetener (optional)
- 1/2 c milk (traditional or non-dairy)
- Ice
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the matcha
- Pour the matcha powder into a bowl.
- Fill a kettle with water, and heat until just under boiling, about 165 F.
- Add the hot water into the bowl with the matcha, and use a chasen to whisk the matcha for 1-2 minutes, in a zig-zag pattern, until the matcha is smooth and free of any clumps.
- Optional: add 1 tsp of sweetener of choice, and whisk again until it's fully combined with the hot matcha.
- Place the matcha in the fridge for about 15 minutes to cool down.
Make the mango puree
- Meanwhile, slice each side of ripe mango, just past the seed.
- Use a spoon to scoop out the fruit and place it in a food processor. You can use either 1/2 of the mango, or the entire mango, depending on how much mango puree you'd like. I used an entire mango for this recipe.
- Blend the fruit until the mango is finely pureed.
Combine for your mango matcha latte
- Scoop the mango puree into the bottom of a tall glass.
- Fill the glass with ice.
- Pour in the milk.
- Top with the prepared matcha.
- Stir the matcha and milk together, and enjoy!
