Ingredients
- Mangoes - I would recommend using fresh, ripe mangoes over frozen. Peel & cut them into pieces. Frozen mangoes are often unripe and are more sour but if you have some that you love, go for it! If you're using frozen mangoes, thaw them at room temperature or in the microwave before using otherwise they will be hard to blend since you won't be adding any additional liquid.
- Matcha powder - Use your favourite high quality ceremonial grade matcha powder.
- Hot water
- Liquid sweetener - Use honey or agave nectar. You can also just use granulated sugar but stir it into the hot water well so that it dissolves.
- Milk - You can use any dairy or non-dairy milk that you prefer.
- Ice - Adjust to your own preference.

Tips & tricks
- Use a high quality ceremonial grade matcha powder. The matcha powder you use in a matcha latte is very important. The flavour of the matcha shines when there are only a few ingredients. Use a matcha powder meant for drinking that has a vibrant green colour and sweet taste.
- Use fresh, ripe mangoes. I highly recommend using fresh mangoes because they have a stronger mango flavour, more sweetness, and a vibrant orange-yellow colour. Frozen mangoes are often frozen before they're ripe so they tend to be sour and pale in colour.
Frequently asked questions
Matcha goes well with fruity flavours such as mango, strawberry, and blueberry. Other flavours that work well with the earthy flavour of matcha are vanilla, white chocolate, black sesame, red bean, coconut, pistachio, and macadamia nut.
Mango matcha is the perfect balance of fruity and earthy with just the right amount of sweetness. The mango takes away any bitterness of the matcha while the matcha mellows out the mango.
