How To Make Coconut Matcha Latte

Step 1

Step 3

Once blended, pour the latte into your favorite glass or mug. Stir in your preferred coffee creamer to achieve the creaminess you like.

Step 4

You can serve it over ice for a refreshing iced matcha or heat it gently in a pot for a warm and cozy version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a regular blender if I don’t have an Almond Cow?

Yes, a high-speed blender like a Vitamix works great. Just strain the mixture if you prefer a smoother texture.

What kind of coffee creamer works best?

Any creamer you love—dairy or plant-based—works well. Coconut, oat, and almond creamers complement the flavors especially well.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Shake or stir before serving.

Is there a way to make it sweeter?

You can add an extra date or a drizzle of maple syrup if you like a sweeter latte.

Can I use canned coconut milk instead of shredded coconut?

Yes, but it will change the texture slightly. Use a smaller amount and blend with less water to adjust the consistency.
