Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups milk of choice almond milk works great, but oat or coconut milk are solid options too
  • ¼ cup vanilla syrup make sure it's a vegan-friendly brand
  • 2 ½ teaspoon pure matcha powder
  • Ice

Equipment

  • Good news: you don't need a barista setup to pull this off. Here's what actually goes into making this drink happen:
  • A milk frother (this is essential for that authentic matcha texture)
  • A large container or shaker for mixing the milk and syrup
  • A drinking glass for serving
  • A spoon for stirring
  • That's genuinely it. If you own a milk frother, you're already equipped to recreate this Starbucks favorite at home.
  • How Many Servings Does This Recipe Make?
  • This recipe makes 1 drink, which is perfect for your personal morning ritual or afternoon pick-me-up. Want to make it for friends or family? Simply multiply the ingredients based on how many drinks you need the ratios scale up easily without throwing off the flavor balance.
  • I usually double the recipe on weekends when my partner wants one too, because apparently my homemade version has converted more than just me.

Method
 

  1. In a large container, stir together the milk and vanilla syrup until fully combined.
  2. Add ice to your drinking glass, then pour about half of the sweetened milk over the ice.
  3. Add the matcha powder to the remaining sweetened milk, then use a milk frother or matcha whisk to blend everything together. This usually takes 2-3 minutes, so don't rush it.
  4. Pour the frothy matcha milk over the sweetened milk already in your glass. Drink up!
  5. Four simple steps, five total minutes, and zero baristas required. If you can operate a milk frother, you've officially got this recipe down.
