Ingredients
To prepare the Iced Mango Matcha Latte, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 ripe mango (or 1 cup of frozen mango chunks)
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder (ensure it’s high quality for the best flavor)
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice, like oat or coconut)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
- Ice cubes
- A pinch of sea salt (to enhance flavors)
Instructions
If you’re using a fresh mango, start by peeling and pitting the fruit. Cut it into chunks for easier blending. If you’re using frozen mango, measure out 1 cup and set aside.
In a blender, combine the mango pieces (fresh or frozen) with about ½ cup of almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy, forming a luscious mango puree. This thick blend will serve as the base layer of your latte.
In a separate bowl, whisk the matcha powder with a small amount of water (about 2-3 tablespoons) until fully dissolved and clump-free. If you prefer, you can use a frother for a smoother consistency. This step is essential, as it prevents the matcha from clumping in the drink.
In a tall glass, start by layering the mango puree at the bottom. Add ice cubes to fill the glass halfway, then pour in the remaining almond milk. Next, gently pour over the whisked matcha for a beautiful layered effect.
If desired, drizzle honey or maple syrup on top of the drink for added sweetness. A pinch of sea salt enhances the overall flavor. Stir the layers together before sipping for a delightful symphony of flavors.
