Iced Matcha Latte 3 Ways: Traditional, Whipped, & Strawberry
Whether you're a die-hard matcha lover, enjoy the occasional matcha, or are trying it for the first time - an iced matcha latte is a great place to start. Especially in the summer heat, an iced matcha latte is a great way to get a caffeine boost while staying cool - and avoiding that post-coffee crash.
Did you know? Matcha doesn't give you the caffeine jitters or crash because it contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation and counters the stimulating effects of caffeine!
Here are 3 ways to enjoy an iced matcha latte this summer: Traditional, Whipped, & Strawberry!
Traditional Iced Matcha Latte
INGREDIENTS
Pre-made:
- We have lots of great ready-to-make matcha latte mixes in store from brand like Organic Traditions (they also have a Coconut Matcha Latte Mix) and Blume
OR From Scratch:
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder (or more or less depending on how strong you like it)
- 1/4 cup cold water
- Ice
- 3/4 cup of milk of choice (ex. oat, coconut, or almond)
- Honey, maple syrup, monk fruit, or sweetener of choice to taste
DIRECTIONS
Pre-made:
- Follow the directions on the bag to make your iced latte
From Scratch:
- Add matcha powder to a small bowl and add water. You may want to sift your matcha first to avoid clumps. Whisk vigorously using a matcha whisk, fork, or electric frother
- Fill a glass or mason jar with ice and add your 3/4 cup of milk
- Top with matcha mixture and add desired sweetener. Stir to combine, and enjoy!
Whipped Iced Matcha Latte (Dalgona Matcha)
INGREDIENTS
- 1 teaspoon egg white or 2tbsp of aquafaba (chickpea liquid)
- Or try 4EverFit Egg White Protein Powder!
- 1 tbsp of sugar (white, turbinado, coconut, etc.)
- 1 tsp of matcha powder
- 1 cup of preferred milk
- Ice
DIRECTIONS
- Whip the egg white or aquafaba using a whisk, mixer, or electric frother until mostly stiff. Add the sugar and whip again until stiff peaks are formed and it sticks to your whisk.
- Sift in your matcha powder - again, this helps reduce clumps - and whisk just until incorporated.
- Fill a cup with ice and add your milk. Top with the whipped matcha, and enjoy!
Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte (Starbucks Dupe!)
INGREDIENTS
- 5 strawberries, fresh or frozen (thawed) - hulled and finely chopped, should equal about 1/3 cup
- OR - 1/3 cup of Strawberry Jam - homemade or bought, like Crofter's Organic
- 1 tsp sugar (cane, white, coconut, etc.)
- 1 tsp matcha powder (1/2 if you don't want it as strong)
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 to 1 cup of milk of choice
- Maple syrup, honey, or monk fruit to taste
- Ice
DIRECTIONS
- Use a fork to mash your chopped strawberries and sugar together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Sift the matcha to remove any clumps. Add the cold water and use a matcha whisk, fork, or electric frother to whisk together until fully mixed and a foamy layer forms on top.
- Add your strawberries (or strawberry jam) to the bottom of a large glass. Fill about halfway with ice and add your preferred milk, leaving enough room for your matcha mixture.
- Add matcha and stir to combine, adding sweetener of choice to taste!

The start of a new year can come with a lot of pressure to reset, overhaul, and become a 'better' version of yourself overnight. Traditional New Years' resolutions can feel motivating at first, but can quickly become overwhelming and restricting. Did you know that 88% of people fail their resolution within the first 2 weeks? It makes us wonder why. And we think that it's because they are rooted in an all-or-nothing mindset that doesn't leave room for life's unpredictability. And our resolutions are often things we think we SHOULD do (because of pressure from others, societal standards, etc.) and not things that we actually VALUE. It’s important to ensure you are enhancing your wellness in harmony with your surroundings and your reality. At Jo Anne's Place, we believe the new year is less about drastic change and more about gentle intention. A holistic approach to the new year invited you to build healthy habits that support your body, mind, and lifestyle at a pace that feels sustainable for you. Rather than chasing resolutions, this is an opportunity to tune in, reflect, and choose practices that truly support your long-term wellbeing. If setting goals is your thing, we support that! Just remember to keep them realistic and grounded in your values. If setting resolutions isn't for you, here are some gentler ways to step into the new year:
Feeling the Holiday pressure? In the midst of Winter’s chill and the Holiday rush, your own well-being deserves space to breathe. The natural world around us is slowing down, so why shouldn’t we? Winter invites us to turn inward, and it is especially important to support your mental health during these longer, darker days. Did you know that we, as Canadians, are more prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder due to our northern latitude, which results in less sunlight during the winter? The Holiday season can be equal parts joyful and overwhelming. Schedules get busy, routines slip, and we're surrounded by comfort foods and sweet treats. Between gatherings, travel, and to-do lists, our well-being can take a back seat. Here are some simple tips to keep you grounded, nourished, and feeling your best throughout the season: *These suggestions are not intended to replace appropriate professional advice.
