The warmth of chai has always made it a fall favorite, and this year, we’re doubling the comfort by pairing it with earthy matcha. The spicy, warming flavors of chai mix with the earthy taste of matcha to create a drink that feels comforting and satisfying on crisp fall days. It’s becoming a favorite for people ordering at Starbucks, and many are trying to make it at home as they settle into the season. If you’ve been curious about this combination, we have a straightforward chai matcha latte recipe you can follow and enjoy any time. Let’s get started.

Iced Matcha Chai Latte

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Cafe Grade Matcha Powder

  • ½ cup hot water (not boiling)

  • ½ cup strong-brewed chai tea (or one chai tea bag steeped in ½ cup hot water for 5 minutes)

  • ½ cup milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based milk)

  • Ice cubes

  • Optional: Sweetener to taste (honey, maple syrup, or sugar)

Directions

  1. Prepare the matcha tea: Whisk the matcha powder using a bamboo whisk with hot water until smooth and frothy.

  2. Brew the chai concentrate: Make a strong chai tea, then let it cool slightly.

  3. Combine: In a glass, add ice cubes. Pour in the brewed chai and milk. Stir in the prepared matcha.

  4. Sweeten: Add sweetener if desired, and stir until thoroughly mixed.

  5. Serve: Enjoy immediately for an aromatic, spiced drink that’s perfect for fall.

  6. Note: For a warm version, whisk one teaspoon of matcha green tea powder with ½ cup of hot water (around 175°F / 80°C) until smooth. Brew ½ cup of strong chai tea and combine with ½ cup of warm milk. Stir in the matcha and sweeten to taste. Serve immediately.
