    Matcha Oat Milk Latte

    Jump to Recipe Pin

    This healthy vegan Matcha Oat Milk Latte is sweet and creamy. Made with 3 ingredients, it provides you with a focused sense of calm.

    This Matcha Oat Milk Latte is my favorite way to get focused. I also add matcha powder to my morning smoothie.

    If you have never had matcha green tea before, it has an earthy slightly bitter taste. When made into a matcha latte, it is sweet, rich, and creamy.

    Other ways to use matcha powder are in my Iced Lavender Matcha Latte recipe, Vegan Matcha Pancakes, and Matcha Kombucha with Lemon.

    You could also use it in combination with spirulina to add a beautiful blueish-green color to Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream or a Shamrock Shake.

    Other recipes to try are my Vegan Maca Latte, Beet Latte recipe, and Vanilla Soy Latte recipe.

    What is the difference between matcha and green tea?

    Matcha green tea is grown differently than regular green tea. It is also made from the whole leaf, and has about three to ten times the amount of antioxidants as brewed green tea.

    Even though it has caffeine, it also has L-Theanine, which has calming and relaxing properties and helps you to focus. Because of the nutrients it contains, you will feel a sense of endurance that can last up to four to six hours.

    Matcha tea doesn't give you the jitters that some people feel after drinking coffee.

    Regular green tea makes me feel nauseous, especially on an empty stomach, but Matcha green tea does not. Maybe it's because it contains the whole leaf.

    Matcha green tea is usually made with a traditional bamboo whisk, which I still have yet to buy. Instead, I blend my matcha latte by whisking it with a fork.

    The old saying "you get what you pay for" applies to matcha green tea. I've read that the best quality comes from Japan, where matcha green tea originated. I have only tried a few different brands so far, so I can't really comment on the best matcha green teas.

    I have tried the premium quality and the ceremonial quality. There's also a culinary quality. My latest matcha powder is a combination of premium and ceremonial.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Matcha green tea powder: I use a blend of ceremonial grade and premium grade harvested matcha. I recommend a high-quality matcha powder for the best taste. Save the culinary-grade matcha for baking.
    • Oat milk: Adds a rich flavor and creamy texture. You could also use soy milk, almond milk, full-fat coconut milk, or another dairy-free milk. You could even use hot water, but I prefer oat milk.
    • Superfood original creamer (optional): Adds sweetness. I like this blend for a matcha latte because it has coconut milk powder and coconut sugar. It doesn't overpower the latte or make it too sweet. You could also use agave syrup or your favorite sweetener. When combined, it tastes similar to Navitas Matcha Latte mix, which I really love.

    This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    🔪 Instructions

    Matcha powder, superfood creamer, and oat milk in a saucepan before and after heating and being mixed.

    Step 1: Pour oat milk in a small saucepan and heat on the stove. Don't let it get too hot. You want it to be 176° F (80° C) or cooler so the matcha doesn't become bitter.

    Step 2: Add the matcha powder and superfood creamer to a mug and pour the oat milk on top. Whisk.

    Alternatively, you can remove the saucepan from the heat, add the matcha powder and superfood creamer, then whisk.

    Whisk with a matcha whisk, regular whisk or fork until matcha powder is dissolved.

    You could use a milk frother if you have one, or shake the hot matcha latte in a mason jar with a secure lid.

    💭 Tip

    Do not heat the oat milk too long. You want the temperature to be 176° F (80° C) or cooler so the matcha doesn't become bitter.

      Does this need to be made with a specific matcha powder?
      I have Tenzo Tea’s organic matcha but a lot of them look the same

        No it doesn't. I do look for matcha that's good quality - not cooking quality. I have tried several brands and they all worked well for a latte.

      I keep hearing so much about matcha but I've never tried it. I'm really intrigued by it and need to try it for myself

        And like I said, if you don't like the taste, then add it to your smoothies so that you still get the benefits. You won't even taste it in a smoothie.

      Ok, I think you've convinced me to try matcha. I've read about the health benefits, but it has always just seemed like too much work. But your recipe makes it look so easy! Thank you!
