Step-by-Step: How to Make Cold Matcha at Home

Step 1 – Sift Your Matcha

Use ½ to 1 tsp of matcha powder (adjust for strength). Sifting avoids clumps and ensures a smoother drink.

Step 2 – Whisk with Cold Water

Add a small amount (about 60ml) of cold water to the sifted matcha. Whisk using a bamboo whisk in a zigzag motion (or use a frother) until you see bubbles form. This creates a concentrated matcha shot.

Step 3 – Add Liquid of Choice

Pour your matcha shot into a glass filled with ice. Top with:

• 200–250ml cold water for a classic cold matcha
• Oat milk or almond milk for an iced matcha latte
• Coconut water for a tropical twist

Step 4 – Sweeten It (Optional)

Add a dash of maple syrup, agave, or honey if you like it sweeter. Stir well.

Cold Matcha Variations to Try

1. Cold Matcha with Moringa

Add ½ tsp of Organic Moringa Powder to your matcha shot before whisking. This enhances the detoxifying and immune-supporting benefits.

2. Cold Matcha for Stress Relief

Mix in ¼ tsp of Organic Ashwagandha Powder for a calming iced drink that helps reduce anxiety and boost mood.

3. Cold Matcha Smoothie

Blend your matcha with:

• 1 frozen banana
• ½ cup oat milk
• ½ tsp matcha
• ½ tsp moringa
• Ice

This smoothie is both refreshing and energizing—a perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

Why Cold Matcha is the Perfect Daily Ritual

Clean, Calm Energy

Unlike coffee, matcha contains L-theanine, which promotes relaxed alertness without the crash.

High in Antioxidants

Matcha is rich in catechins like EGCG—powerful antioxidants that support cellular health and metabolism.

Easy to Customize

Cold matcha is like a blank canvas. Whether you're boosting it with moringa, calming it with ashwagandha, or sweetening it with maple syrup, it's endlessly adaptable.
