What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee (cold or room temp)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1-2 tsp sugar-free sweetener (like monk fruit or erythritol)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Ice cubes
Tools:
- Small whisk or milk frother
- Tall glass
- Measuring spoons
Pro Tips
- Use cold coffee or espresso: Hot coffee will melt the ice and water down your drink.
- Sift the matcha: This prevents clumps and makes it smooth.
- Adjust sweetness: Start with 1 tsp of sweetener, then taste and add more if needed.
- Chill the glass: Pop it in the fridge for a few minutes to keep your drink colder longer.
- Blend for a frothy finish: If you like foam, blend the almond milk and matcha before mixing!
Substitutions & Variations
- Swap almond milk for coconut or macadamia milk for a slightly different flavor.
- Use MCT oil or coconut oil for an extra keto energy boost.
- Make it decaf by using decaffeinated coffee.
Make Ahead Tips
- Mix the matcha, almond milk, and sweetener ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just add coffee and ice when you’re ready to enjoy!
