Happy Matcha Monday. In this video, I’m showing you how to make an iced matcha latte without any of the traditional tools—no chasen, no chawan, no sifter—using things you probably already have in your kitchen. I always want to say this upfront: I really do encourage using traditional tools out of respect for the tradition, but I also know not everyone has access to them (or wants to buy a bunch of new stuff just to try matcha). So this is my “make it work” method that still gives you a delicious, pretty latte at home. I walk you through an easy, beginner-friendly approach to getting your matcha smooth and well-mixed, plus my tips for avoiding clumps and getting that vibrant green look even when you’re improvising. I also share the matcha I used (Mizuba Tea Co. Signature Matcha) and how I like to build an iced latte so it tastes balanced—creamy, not bitter, and actually enjoyable. The biggest takeaway: you don’t need fancy gear to start; you just need a good matcha, a little technique, and permission to keep it simple.
