Ingredients
Scale
Mango Puree
- 1 cup ripe mango (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
Matcha Mixture
- 2-3 tablespoons matcha powder
- 2-3 tablespoons water (for whisking)
Additional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ cup ice cubes
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mango: If using a fresh mango, peel, pit, and chop it into chunks. For frozen mango, measure out 1 cup and set aside for blending.
- Blend the Mango Puree: In a blender, add the mango chunks and ½ cup of almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy, creating a luscious mango puree.
- Whisk the Matcha: In a separate bowl, whisk 2-3 tablespoons matcha powder with 2-3 tablespoons water until fully dissolved and smooth, with no clumps. The mixture should be bright green.
- Assemble the Drink: In a tall glass, pour the mango puree at the bottom. Add ice cubes to fill the glass halfway, then pour in the remaining almond milk. Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the top to create beautiful layered visuals.
- Finish with Flavor: Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top if you desire extra sweetness. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for contrast, then gently stir before enjoying your refreshing iced mango matcha latte.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder based on your taste preference for earthiness and caffeine strength.
- Honey or maple syrup is optional; the mango provides natural sweetness, so you can omit added sweeteners for a lower-calorie version.
- Use almond milk or any plant-based milk to keep the drink vegan and dairy-free.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste and best layered presentation.
