1. Iced Matcha Latte

I reach for this iced matcha latte any time I want something smooth and energizing without the fuss.

What I love is how just a few ingredients transform into a café-level drink at home: bright green matcha powder whisked until frothy, poured over ice, then topped with creamy milk of my choice.

The original recipe uses about 1–1½ teaspoons of ceremonial grade matcha and 2 tablespoons of warm water, whisked until smooth.

2. Iced Earl Grey Matcha Latte

This drink merges two of my favourite flavour worlds: the floral bergamot of Earl Grey tea and the earthy pop of matcha.

It feels fancy but is totally doable at home. I brew a strong cup of Earl Grey, whisk the matcha separately, then pour the milk, chilled tea, and matcha in layers over ice.

You need about ½-¾ cup milk, chilled Earl Grey, then the matcha on top.

The honey gives the matcha a mellow tone that makes it feel like a treat rather than just an afternoon pick-me-up.

It looks beautiful, tastes even better, and instantly makes any drink feel café-style.

Matcha chia pudding is my favorite easy breakfast when I want something creamy and energizing without cooking.

The chia seeds thicken overnight and create a smooth, pudding-like texture that pairs perfectly with matcha’s earthy flavor. I add a little honey or maple syrup for sweetness, and by morning, it’s ready to eat.

It tastes refreshing, lightly sweet, and surprisingly filling. I usually top it with berries or coconut flakes for extra color and crunch.
