    Matcha Oat Milk Latte

    I absolutely love a good latte recipe!  Lattes are my go-to when I go to any coffee (which is often because Gabe is a coffee shop addict).

    Sometimes, when I need to take a break from my regular, highly caffeinated latte, I will gravitate towards the matcha lattes. They are full of energy without the epic caffeine crash.

    If you are a matcha lover too but do not want to pay the price tag of a coffee shop latte, you have come to the right place. 

    This latte gives you all of the barista experience without the price tag or time. 

    It is highly customizable to any dietary needs or taste bud wants!  I have provided numerous tips, substitutions, and add ons to ensure you make the iced oat milk latte of your dreams.

    And do not worry, this recipe takes very little time to make!

    Why We Love Matcha Oat Milk Lattes

    Antioxidant boost - Did you know green tea is packed with antioxidants that studies have shown to fight against cancer, heart disease and so much more? This is the perfect way to start your day on a healthy note. 

    Quick and Easy - This recipe has four steps and does not take a whole lot of time. In fact, the most time-consuming part of this recipe is waiting for the milk to heat up!

    Customizable - I have added a plethora of substitutions and add ons to truly make this latte what you want and need!  

    Whether you want seasonal, sweetened, or just simple, I have you covered. This is the perfect vegan latte recipe.

    Cost Saving & Eco Friendly - A matcha latte usually costs over $3 and adding oat milk adds in another 50 cents up to $2.00. It usually requires some sort of paper or plastic cup (unless you are using a re-usable one!). 

    Ditch the cost and the wasted cup and make your own.

    Creamy - This latte is overwhelmingly creamy due to the oat milk. I have also provided different ways to froth it. Therefore, it truly feels like a barista made it for you! 

    Ingredients

    To make this matcha oat milk latte you will need the following ingredients: matcha powder; water; oat milk; maple syrup; and vanilla extract (optional).

    How To Make The Perfect Oat Milk Latte

    Making this oat milk latte is extremely easy! 

    First, heat your oat milk over medium heat. I do this using a sauce pan. It should take about 3-5 minutes. Keep your eyes on it to ensure it does not boil. You are seeking a simmer, not a boil.

    If you notice it begins to boil, remove the saucepan from the burner.

    While the oat milk is heating, combine your matcha and your warm water and stir. You will want it to be about bath tub tempature.

    You also can use boiling water if you'd like, but I always try to find the laziest ways to do things, so warm tap water works just as well.

    Pro tip - use a glass or mug to make your matcha so it does not go everywhere when you mix it.

    You will want to stir until the matcha is not grainy. I use a handheld frother for this, but if you do not have one, a whisk or fork works just as well. 

    Once your oat milk is warmed up, place it in your glass or mug and froth it.

    Make sure you have some room at the top of the glass, as frothing will cause the milk to move upwards, so if your glass is full, it will spill. 

    I have added numerous options for frothing in the “Tips” section.

    Then, add in your vanilla extract and maple syrup.

    Finally, matcha and stir.

    And there you have it, a delicious vegan latte!

    See my section below for tips on how to froth, as well as add ons to truly customize this drink. 

    How To Froth Oat Milk

    While this is not required in any way for your recipe, it definitely adds a nice little touch. It also will make this feel more like the “real deal” from a coffee shop.

    The easiest way to froth oat milk is to use a handheld frother. I use a handheld frother from Zulays, but any handheld frother will do (pro tip- order batteries). It was really affordable, and I use it often. If you make lattes at home or plan to, I recommend getting one. 

    If you do not have a handheld frother,  you may also use a blender.  Simply add the oat milk to the blender, and blend for 20 seconds. 

    Just make sure to leave the top portion of the blender slightly open and cover it with a towel because if you seal it tight, the hot oat milk will explode. 

    Tips and Substitutions

    Substitutions 

    My preference for oat milk is that is creamy. I find that this makes my latte taste better. Willa’s is my go-to for oat milk, as they do not have additives or gums and their milk is all-natural. 

    Matcha - I use ceremonial matcha from Tenzo but any matcha will do. Trader Joe also has an affordable one. Be sure you are buying matcha and not matcha latte powder.

    Vanilla Extract - I add vanilla extract to add more flavor up the latte and add some flavor. You may use any flavoring you like, such as coffee syrups.

    If you enjoy sweeter lattes, you can add in your favorite sweetener. I prefer to use maple syrup in mine, but sugar, stevia, or any other sweetener works just as well.

    If you prefer a stronger latte, double the amount of matcha. Do keep in mind you will need to add more sweetener if you do this.

    You can also the matcha and milk to cool, add ice cubes and enjoy this vegan latte iced!

    Time Saving Hacks & Storing 

    This latte is best served right away. There are not many hacks to cut time on this unless you want to drink this matcha oat milk latte chilled.

    If so, simply  make the matcha ahead of time, then when you are ready, add the matcha, oat milk and ice into a glass and enjoy.

    Fun Add-Ins and Additions

    I love to customize my lattes! Other than the tips I provided above regarding flavoring and sweeteners, here are fun options for every season.

    Summer - Ice this latte to make a refreshing, light energy-boosting treat!

    Fall - I always love warm spices in the summer. Add in some brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg or pumpkin spice! 

    Winter - Peppermint Mocha Matcha latte, anyone? Add in 1-2 tbsp of cocoa powder or melted chocolate and some peppermint drops (or candy canes, why not!) then mix it up. 

    Spring - Adding a little lavender extract to this latte makes it the ultimate spring drink. 

    Also, adding 1 tsp of turmeric will make this vegan latte anti-inflammatory! 

    Frequestions Asked Questions

    Can I make this matcha oat milk latte iced?

    Absolutely. Skip the step which warms the oat milk! Add in ice or oat milk ice cubes to make it the perfect iced matcha latte.

    What is the best matcha to use for it?

    I use ceremonial grade matcha, which you can find at Tenzo's website. Trader Joe's also has a great green tea. Do not use green tea latte mix, or this latte will not come out correctly.
