Iced Matcha Season Is Here: 3 Ways to Chill It Down
🍵 MatchaBrand is coming soon: we can't wait to share more with you! In the meantime, here are 3 iced matcha recipes to keep you cool this summer.
Iced matcha is having a moment, and for good reason. It delivers the same smooth, focused energy as a warm bowl of matcha but is refreshing, customizable, and perfect for warmer days.
From a classic iced latte to a few creative twists, just tap each one to see the full ingredients and step-by-step instructions.
Before You Start: The One Iced Matcha Rule
Matcha doesn't dissolve well in cold water, so starting with ice can leave you with small clumps instead of a smooth drink.
The simple fix is to whisk your matcha with a small amount of hot water first, then add your cold ingredients. Every recipe below starts the same way. Need the full rundown on technique? Here's how to whisk matcha properly.
Hot water first. Cold everything after.
1. Sparkling Matcha
Sparkling water brings out a different side of matcha, giving you a light, bubbly drink that's perfect on a warm afternoon.
2. Iced Matcha Concentrate
Matcha can get in on the make-ahead iced drink game too! Prepare a batch ahead of time so your morning matcha is ready whenever you are. Just pour, add your favorite milk or water, and enjoy.
Heads up: the concentrate is potent. Start with 1 to 2 oz and dilute from there.
3. Matcha Coconut Cooler
Creamy, tropical, and made for summer.
One Last Thing Before You Ice
Since iced drinks let the matcha's flavor take center stage, choosing a smooth, high-quality powder can make all the difference. Naka, MatchaBrand's Barista Blend, is shade-grown in Uji, has zero bitterness, and is priced for daily use, so you won't feel sad at checkout. Shop Naka Organic.
Three recipes to get you started, and endless ways to make them your own. More from MatchaBrand is coming soon.
