Coconut Milk Matcha Latte: A Creamy Vegan Delight

Try this Coconut Milk Matcha Latte recipe — a creamy, plant-based twist that feels both indulgent and refreshing. The pairing of matcha and coconut milk creates a smooth drink packed with flavour and antioxidants, perfect for a gentle energy boost any time of day.

Ingredients for 1 cup (250 ml):

• 1 teaspoon of organic ceremonial matcha
• 70 ml hot water (70–75°C)
• 150 ml coconut milk (liquid, unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (agave syrup, maple syrup, vanilla sugar…)
• Optional: ice cubes (for an iced latte), coconut whipped cream, toppings (coconut flakes, white chocolate shavings, etc.)

Method:

Step 1: Prepare the matcha

1. Heat the water: Warm water to around 70–75°C. Avoid boiling water to protect matcha’s delicate flavour.
2. Whisk the matcha: In a matcha bowl, add 1 teaspoon of matcha and pour in the hot water. Whisk vigorously with a chasen (bamboo whisk) or an electric frother until smooth and lightly foamy.

Step 2: Add the coconut milk

1. Warm the coconut milk: Heat it gently in a small pan or using a milk frother. Prefer an iced latte? Use cold coconut milk.
2. Combine: Pour the coconut milk into the whisked matcha. You can also whisk matcha directly with hot coconut milk (instead of water) for a richer texture.

Step 3: Make it extra delicious

1. Sweeten to taste: Add your chosen sweetener (agave, maple, vanilla sugar…).
2. Add toppings: Finish with coconut flakes, grated white chocolate, or coconut whipped cream for a dessert-like touch.

Extra tip:

For an even creamier texture, add 1 tablespoon of coconut cream. For a refreshing version, add a few ice cubes before serving.

Nutritional interest:

Coconut milk brings satisfying fats, while matcha is naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Together, they create a smooth drink with a gentle, steady lift.

Best moment to enjoy:

This coconut milk matcha latte works beautifully at breakfast, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or alongside dessert. The iced version is ideal on warm days.
