This Raspberry Matcha Latte is creamy, bright, and sweet. A refreshing and energizing drink layered with green tea and raspberry syrup.

An iced raspberry matcha latte, stirred.

I am a coffee drinker at the core, but matcha is slowly growing on me! I have really been enjoying the earthy matcha + fruity syrup combo.

I loved making my strawberry oat milk matcha lattes. And this raspberry version has that same fruity flavor!

Pro Tip: Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and color.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Matcha: use your favorite matcha
Hot Water & Cold Water: If you're making an iced latte I recommend mixing the matcha with hot water first. This helps the powder fully emulsify with the water. Then finish with cold water to help cool down the drink. For a hot latte, use warm water only.
Milk: I typically make my drinks with soy milk - extra protein! That said, oat milk is super smooth, creamy, and delightful in lattes. I find that almond milk tastes a little funky in lattes, so avoid that unless you already know you like it.
Raspberry Syrup: I used my raspberry simple syrup. I love keeping some of the pulp and adding it to the lattes for texture. You can also use a store-bought syrup.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1. If using a matcha whisk, soak the whisk in hot water for 5 minutes before using.

Step 4. Add the cold water (or the rest of the hot water for a hot latte) and whisk again.

FAQ & Expert Tips

Can I make this warm instead of iced?

Yes! Use only warm water in the matcha, skip the ice, and warm the milk on the stove or microwave before mixing.

What milk works best?

Barista-style oat milk gives the creamiest texture, but any kind works. I typically use soy milk!

Can I make other flavors?

Yes! Use this recipe with other syrups. My strawberry syrup is great with matcha!
