Thinking of how I could combine my two latest loves – matcha and salted caramel – this new beauty was born. An iced matcha and salted caramel latte.

I mentioned a few days ago when I posted my recipe for Matcha Pistachio Bliss Balls that I’ve been on a matcha kick this week. But truth be told, I’ve also been on a salted caramel kick for oh, the last month.

It started when I made my initial Salted Caramel Sauce. Because, well, I had leftovers. So what did I do? I started dreaming up more salted caramel recipes. From that batch I made a top secret recipe (as I haven’t posted it yet). But as we’re friends, I’ll whisper it quietly…salted caramel apple pie ice cream.

Not. Even. Joking. So keep checking back as I’ll be posting that soon.

But thinking of how I could combine my two latest loves – matcha and salted caramel – this new beauty was born. An iced matcha and salted caramel latte. And when you’ve got a delicious beverage that’s dairy-free and friendly for paleo and vegan peeps – you know you’ve got a winner. The way I look at recipes – the more who can enjoy them the better!

I highly recommend you make the salted caramel sauce a day or a few days ahead of time. It’ll keep in the fridge for a few weeks…and I’m sure you’ll find plenty of ways to use the leftovers. The rest of the latte is easy peasy from there. Add the remaining matcha layer ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Top that on a half a cup of coconut milk and drink, drink, drink.

I personally like to swirl it all together, blending the salted caramel, coconut milk and matcha. But you may prefer a straw full of each flavor. However you drink it, you really can’t go wrong. It’s matcha and salted caramel after all.

Enjoy!

  1. Hi Lisa,

    I LOVE all your recipes! I’m using your favorite coconut milk in can but do you make coconut milk as well or you just pour the canned milk to that adorable jar?

    Thanks 

  2. Hi Lisa,

    Do you still use this matcha brand? I have been researching and don’t know which matcha tea to get. Most are from Japan, and I don’t know if radiation in the tea is a concern.

    Sincerely,

    Samantha

  3. I just wanted to check. It looks like normally the serving size in 1 tsp of matcha powder. Did you mean for it to be 1tbs? I’m just worried that might be too much caffeine for me so I wanted to be sure before I tried it.
    Thanks so much for posting your caramel sauce- I can’t wait to try it. :)

    1. It’s 1 tbsp of matcha as the recipe is two servings (so about 2 tsp each). You could definitely reduce the amount though if you’d like. Hope you enjoy it and that caramel sauce! :)

  4. This matcha (and all the other goodies) smoothie is to die for! Now all I’ll have to do is caramel sauce :)5 stars
