Green and earthy, your morning lattes will never be the same with this homemade vegan matcha latte powder mix. You can make and store the powder for another time or follow the directions to make a steaming latte pronto! Find out why everyone's been raving about matcha with this quick and delicious, plant-based recipe.
Normally I enjoy a London fog latte in the morning, but sometimes I like to switch it up with this hot matcha beverage. If you've never had matcha before, you'll be pleased to find that it tastes great! Matcha has a smooth earthiness that's mildly sweet and reminiscent of the finest green teas.
This recipe makes enough for one cup of homemade vegan matcha latte. It can easily be scaled up by dragging the servings slider on the recipe card if you want to make it in bulk and store in the cupboard or to take on the go.
You can find matcha lattes in most coffee shops, but why spend the money on an expensive latte when you can make your own vegan matcha lattes at home? Start your day right with the earthy flavor of matcha, accompanied by the sweet creaminess of coconut milk.
I also have this marshmallow pumpkin latte and gingerbread syrup for coffee that you might like for a fall/winter pick me up!

🍵Homemade Vegan Matcha Latte Powder Ingredients
- matcha tea powder - Can be purchased online or found at most major retailers.
- powdered sugar - I use powdered because it blends nicely in the powdered mix and dissolves quickly but feel free to use coconut sugar or granulated sugar as an alternative.
- coconut milk powder - You can also find coconut powder online or at health food stores.
*Check recipe card for ingredient amounts.
Chef's Note: Another optional ingredient to add to the powder for extra flavor is vanilla powder! You can find it easily online or check out how to make vanilla powder at home. Or, try adding a touch of almond extract to the prepared matcha tea latte.
🥣How to Make it
Step 1. Combine the Ingredients. Sift the matcha, powdered sugar and powdered coconut milk together. Sifting will help to avoid clumps.
Now you have 2 options: 1) Either store the powdered mix for later or 2) prepare a latte with the instructions that follow.
Step 2: Add Powder to Mug. To prepare a latte: add the homemade vegan matcha latte mix to 1 cup of hot water. Mix well.
Step 3: Serve. Serve the homemade vegan matcha latte and enjoy!
Pro Tip: (Optional but highly recommended) Use a hand-held milk frother to make it extra smooth and frothy. I always keep one on hand in my kitchen.
🫖Serving Suggestions
- You can mix this recipe in large quantities and store it in your kitchen in a jar for daily use, or throw it together any time of day whenever the mood strikes you.
- Take the mix with you on a camping trip as all you will need is some hot water to enjoy this soothing beverage! These flavored chocolate spoons work the same way!
- If you do plan on making a large batch of the powder to have on hand, just be sure to add a small amount of the mix to the mug of hot water to begin with, and work your way up from there, to taste.
💡Blender Trick
If you have a blender around, you could blend the powder mixture with 1 cup hot water to make it extra frothy and smooth by: opening the vent hole on the lid and placing a kitchen towel over it loosely.
The vent hole needs to be open to prevent pressure build-up. The kitchen towel will prevent splashing of the hot liquid through the vent hole while still allowing steam to escape.
Start blender on low and speed up gradually, until blended.
❓Homemade Vegan Matcha Latte Powder FAQs
No, matcha latte is a tea-based latte, not coffee-based.
Matcha can contain almost as much caffeine as a cup of coffee (70 mg in matcha vs. 70 mg to 140 mg in coffee), so you can save money and give yourself a better energy boost. It can be a great alternative to those sugar- and syrup-filled drinks you get at the local coffee shop.
