When summer arrives, matcha goes iced. These five cold matcha drink recipes are cooling, refreshing, and all surprisingly simple to make at home. From a classic iced matcha latte to a citrusy matcha lemonade, there is something for every occasion.
1. Classic Iced Matcha Latte
Whisk 2 tsp matcha with 60ml cold water until smooth (a frother works well). Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in 200ml cold oat milk. Pour matcha concentrate over the top. Stir gently and serve.
2. Matcha Lemonade
Prepare matcha concentrate as above. Mix with fresh lemon juice, cold water, and a little honey to taste. Serve over ice. The citrus brightens the matcha beautifully.

5. Matcha Coconut Cooler
Whisk matcha with a splash of hot water. Cool completely. Pour over ice with coconut water and a squeeze of lime. Light, tropical, and hydrating.
