Dress the Glass
Start by adding 1-2 tsp of hazelnut cream to the inside of your glass. It’s not essential, but it adds a beautiful creamy texture and a hint of hazelnut flavour at the base. -
Whisk the Matcha
Place 1 tsp of PerfectTed Original Matcha Powder into a bowl. Add 40ml of hot water (ideally less than 80°C) and whisk vigorously until frothy and smooth. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect matcha flavour. -
Prepare the Milk
Pour 200ml of chilled hazelnut milk into your glass over a generous handful of ice. This creates the perfect base for your latte. -
Sweeten it Up
To make brown sugar syrup at home, simply mix brown sugar with a bit of boiling water and let it dissolve. Add around 30ml of this syrup to your glass for the perfect balance of sweetness. -
Combine & Enjoy
Pour the whisked matcha over the hazelnut milk and syrup mixture. Stir everything together to combine. Voilà, your Iced Hazelnut Matcha Latte is ready to enjoy!
tips for the best iced hazelnut matcha latte
-
Whisking matters: To avoid clumps and ensure a smooth, frothy matcha, use a bamboo whisk or a handheld frother. Make sure the water temperature is under 80°C to keep the matcha flavour vibrant and smooth.
-
Milk alternatives: Hazelnut milk brings out the nutty flavour, but almond or oat milk would work just as well if you prefer a different milk base.
-
Adjust sweetness: Taste your syrup and adjust according to your sweetness preference. You can add more syrup for a sweeter latte or less if you like it more balanced
