What You Need to Make This Recipe

You’ll need ripe mango chunks for that luscious puree, a touch of honey or agave, vibrant matcha powder, and your favorite milk to create this delightful Iced Mango Matcha Latte.

How to Make Iced Mango Matcha Latte

Creating your own Iced Mango Matcha Latte is a delightful journey of three simple steps. First, blend fresh mango with a touch of sweetness to create a smooth, vibrant puree. Next, whisk up a ceremonial-grade matcha shot, ensuring it’s perfectly smooth and vibrant green. Finally, layer your mango puree, ice, milk, and the rich matcha shot for a stunning and refreshing drink. It’s just as rewarding as making a Strawberry Matcha Latte from scratch!

Pro Tips for Making This Iced Mango Matcha Latte

Getting that perfect cool, refreshing experience means paying attention to a few small details, which always make a big difference in my kitchen for this drink.

• Choose Ripe Mangoes: This is crucial! Select mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a fragrant aroma. They provide natural sweetness and a smooth puree without needing too much added sugar.
• Sift Your Matcha: To avoid lumps and ensure a velvety smooth matcha shot, always sift your matcha powder before whisking it with hot water. This creates a beautifully consistent texture.
• Layering is Key: For that Instagram-worthy look, gently pour the milk over the ice cubes, then slowly drizzle the matcha shot on top. This creates a beautiful separation of colors before you give it a good stir.

My Secret Trick: When I make the mango puree for my Iced Mango Matcha Latte, I sometimes add a tiny squeeze of lime juice. It brightens the mango flavor and adds a lovely zesty contrast to the earthy matcha, making the drink even more dynamic.

How to Store Iced Mango Matcha Latte

While this Iced Mango Matcha Latte is truly best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare components ahead of time. I always make a larger batch of mango puree and store it in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The matcha shot is best made just before serving to ensure its freshness and vibrant color. If you have a completed latte leftover, consume it within a few hours, as the ice will melt and dilute the flavors.

Nutritional Benefits

Beyond its delightful taste, this Iced Mango Matcha Latte offers a wonderful blend of nourishment. Mangoes provide vitamins and antioxidants, while matcha is renowned for its calming L-Theanine and powerful antioxidants, making this Iced Mango Matcha Latte a refreshing and healthful choice for the whole family.

FAQs

Can I use frozen mango for this recipe?

Absolutely! If fresh mangoes aren’t in season or readily available, frozen mango chunks work wonderfully. Just be sure to thaw them slightly before blending to achieve a smooth puree for your Iced Mango Matcha Latte, and you might need a tiny splash of water to help it along.

What kind of milk is best for an Iced Mango Matcha Latte?

I love using oat milk or almond milk for a creamy, dairy-free version, but whole milk also creates a rich and indulgent texture. Experiment with your favorite milk to find what you enjoy most in your Iced Mango Matcha Latte!

Can I make the matcha shot in advance?

While the mango puree can be prepped, I recommend making the matcha shot right before assembling your Iced Mango Matcha Latte. Matcha is freshest when whisked just before serving, preserving its vibrant color and delicate flavor for the best experience.

How can I make my Iced Mango Matcha Latte sweeter or less sweet?

You can easily adjust the sweetness! For a sweeter drink, add a little extra honey or agave to your mango puree or more maple/simple syrup to your milk. For less sweet, simply reduce the amount of added sweeteners when preparing your Iced Mango Matcha Latte.

Ingredients

  

For the Mango Puree

• 1/2 cup mango chunks fresh or frozen (if frozen, thaw slightly)
• 1 tsp honey or agave syrup optional, adjust to taste
• 1 tbsp water if needed for blending

For the Matcha Latte

• 1 tsp matcha powder ceremonial grade recommended
• 2 tbsp hot water (approx. 175°F/80°C), not boiling
• 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy (e.g., almond, oat milk)
• 1 tsp maple syrup or simple syrup optional, adjust to taste
• 1 cup ice cubes

Equipment

• Blender
• Matcha whisk or small whisk
• Tall glass (16-20 oz)
• Measuring spoons
• Measuring Cups

Method

 

Prepare the Mango Puree

• In a blender, combine the mango chunks and optional honey/agave syrup. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until a smooth, pourable puree is achieved. Set aside.

Prepare the Matcha Shot

• In a small bowl or matcha ceremonial bowl, add the matcha powder. Pour in the hot (not boiling) water. Vigorously whisk with a matcha whisk or a small kitchen whisk until the matcha is fully dissolved and a frothy layer forms on top. Set aside.

Assemble the Latte

• Take a tall glass (16-20 oz). Pour the prepared mango puree into the bottom of the glass.
• Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the top.
• Carefully pour the milk over the ice. If using optional maple syrup, stir it into the milk gently before pouring, or add it directly to the milk in the glass.
• Slowly and gently pour the whisked matcha shot over the back of a spoon, or directly over the ice, to create a beautiful layered effect on top of the milk.
• Serve immediately. You can give it a gentle stir before drinking to combine the flavors.

Notes

For the best layered effect, ensure your matcha shot is freshly whisked and your milk is cold. Adjust the sweetness of both the mango puree and the matcha latte to your preference. For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat milk or oat milk. You can prepare the mango puree in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
