You know those moments when you just need a drink that feels a little… elevated? That’s exactly how this Iced Lavender Matcha Latte came to be in my life. A few months ago, I was at this trendy café downtown—you know, the kind where the drinks cost as much as a small meal? I saw “lavender matcha” on the menu and thought, Why not? One sip in, and I was hooked.

But here’s the thing: I couldn’t keep justifying those café prices. So, I decided to recreate it at home. Let me tell you, the first attempt was not pretty—let’s just say clumpy matcha and too much lavender aren’t a great combo. But after a few tries (and a lot of taste-testing), I nailed it.

Now, this drink feels like a little slice of luxury in my day. Whether it’s a chaotic morning or a lazy afternoon, it’s my go-to for an instant mood boost. And hey, if I can make it, you can too.

Ingredient Notes:

This recipe might sound fancy, but it’s made with simple ingredients you probably have (or can grab easily).

  • Matcha Powder: Go for ceremonial-grade if you want the smoothest flavor, but culinary-grade works just fine too.
  • Lavender Syrup: Homemade or store-bought—it’s up to you. If you’ve got dried lavender flowers, making your own syrup is a fun project.
  • Heavy Cream & Half-and-Half: These create the rich, frothy lavender foam. You can use a non-dairy creamer if needed.
  • Milk of Choice: Almond, oat, soy, or good ol’ dairy milk—whatever you prefer.
  • Food Coloring: Not essential, but let’s be honest, it makes the lavender foam pop.

Pro Tip: Always sift your matcha or whisk it thoroughly with hot water. Clumpy matcha is not the vibe.

How To Make Iced Lavender Matcha Latte?

Step 1. Whisk the Matcha
In a small bowl, combine matcha powder and 1–2 tablespoons of hot water. Whisk until smooth (no clumps allowed!). Add the cold water and stir. Pop it in the fridge while you prep the lavender cream.

Step 2. Create the Lavender Cream
Mix heavy cream, half-and-half, and lavender syrup in a small glass. Froth it for 15–25 seconds until it’s light and airy—but don’t overdo it, or you’ll end up with whipped cream.

3 Servings

Ingredients

For the Lavender Cream:

  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • ¼ cup half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon lavender simple syrup
  • Food coloring optional: 1–2 drops purple, or 1 drop red with 2 drops blue

For the Iced Matcha Latte:

  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1 –2 tablespoons hot water
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 12 ounces milk of choice
  • Sweetener optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Matcha Base

  1. Begin by placing the matcha powder in a small mixing bowl. If desired, sift the matcha to eliminate clumps. Add 1–2 tablespoons of hot water and whisk until the powder is fully dissolved, forming a smooth paste. Incorporate the remaining ½ cup of cold water, stirring thoroughly. Transfer this mixture to the refrigerator to chill while preparing the lavender cream.

Create the Lavender Cream

  1. In a small glass or bowl, combine the whipping cream, half-and-half, and lavender syrup. Add food coloring, if desired, for a light lavender hue. Use a frother or whisk to lightly froth the mixture for 15–25 seconds, creating a smooth, airy consistency. Avoid over-whipping to prevent forming stiff peaks.

Assemble the Latte

  1. Fill three glasses with ice. Pour approximately ¾ cup of milk into each glass. Divide the chilled matcha mixture evenly among the glasses, gently stirring to combine the ingredients.

Add the Lavender Foam

  1. Carefully spoon the prepared lavender cream over each glass. The foam should sit lightly atop the matcha latte, creating a layered effect.

Serve and Enjoy

  1. Present the lattes immediately, allowing guests to admire the vibrant green matcha and delicate lavender foam before stirring.
