A fun and easy way to make an Iced Macadamia Milk Matcha Latte with the added extra Matcha goodness from the matcha ice cubes.
I love drinking matcha lattes. It’s my go-to beverage treat when I’m craving sweets, and also my favorite hot tea to drink in the mornings.
How to make an Iced Macadamia Milk Matcha Latte with Matcha Ice Cubes
I especially love drinking my matcha ice lattes cold, so I always put extra ice, but I don’t drink it fast enough. I take my time savoring every sip, and when I’m almost done, its watered down from the ice. So, my solution is to make my ice cube from matcha. I realized I could do this after making my cold brew latte with ice cubes.
What you will need:
- Matcha
- Ice cube tray
- Macadamia Milk
- Optional: vanilla syrup
- Optional: Whisk
Matcha ice cubes:
- Add the matcha powder and hot water in a bowl and whisk with a bamboo whisk.
- Whisk in a circular and M motion until completely dissolved and smooth.
- Pour your matcha into an ice cube tray and freeze for four hours.
Macadamia Milk Matcha Latte:

- Then carefully pour the matcha into the glass. Enjoy!

Questions you may have:
What is matcha?
Matcha is a type of green tea that is made from young tea leaves that were ground into fine bright green powder. You add the matcha powder directly to your tea, rather than steeping them in a bag.
Matcha contains higher amounts of antioxidants and caffeine, and since the leaves are grounded into a fine powder, you get all the nutrients in your tea.
What is the benefit of drinking matcha?
- Matcha has cancer-fighting effects on the body because it contains a class of antioxidants called catechins.
- It helps prevents heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.
- Matcha also encourages weight loss.
- Matcha can also boost metabolism.
Can I make this hot?
Yes, I made this a cold drink, but try making it hot, especially with macadamia nut milk! It’s delicious without any sweetener!
Does it have to be macadamia nut milk?
You can make this Matcha latte with any milk. Zach’s favorite is oat milk, but with the macadamia nut milk, it gives the drink that smooth macadamia nut flavor that you get when you eat a Hawaiian Host Matcha Macs (minus the white chocolate flavor :P).
