Begin by placing the matcha powder into a small mixing bowl or measuring cup. Slowly pour in 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water and whisk vigorously until the matcha fully dissolves, forming a smooth paste. This step ensures the matcha blends seamlessly without clumps.

Next, add the remaining 1/2 cup of hot water to the matcha mixture, stirring well to combine. Transfer this mixture to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 10 minutes, ensuring a refreshing and cool drink.

Once chilled, fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour in 3/4 cup of your preferred milk. If you like your latte sweet, add the sweetener at this point and stir to blend. Finally, pour the chilled matcha mixture over the milk and ice, stirring gently until everything is well mixed. Enjoy your refreshing iced matcha latte!
