Iced Matcha in London: Where and How

Looking for iced matcha in London, or want to know how to make an iced matcha latte at home? This guide covers both: a simple home method with ratios, a few tips that make the difference, and the six iced matchas you can order at our café in Shoreditch.

How to make an iced matcha latte at home

For one glass of about 300ml you'll need:

• 1 teaspoon of matcha (roughly 2g)
• 60ml of cold or room-temperature water
• 150–200ml of cold milk
• A glass of ice
• Sweetener, if you like one (a syrup mixes in more easily than sugar)

1. Sift the matcha into a small bowl or jar to stop lumps forming.
2. Add the water and whisk in a quick zigzag for 20–30 seconds, until smooth with a light froth. No whisk? Put the lid on the jar and shake hard for about 20 seconds.
3. Fill a glass with ice and pour in the cold milk, plus syrup if you're using it.
4. Pour the matcha over the top. It will sit in a green layer above the milk.
5. Stir and drink.

Tips for a better iced matcha

• Don't skip the sieve. Lumps are harder to fix in cold water than hot.
• Whisk first, then add ice. Matcha mixes better before it hits the cold.
• Adjust the ratio. Use a little more matcha for a stronger taste, or more milk for a softer one.
• Keep matcha sealed. Once open, store the tin airtight and away from light and heat.

Flavour ideas at home

A spoonful of fruit purée or syrup at the bottom of the glass turns an iced matcha into a layered drink. Strawberry is a common choice, and mango and blueberry work too. Our guide to the strawberry matcha latte shows how layered drinks are usually built.
