🍵 Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- It only takes a few minutes! It’s a great option for starting off your morning or a refreshing pick-me-up in the afternoon.
- Matcha lattes at cafés and bakeries are $$$$$$. Although I enjoy treating myself to a nice matcha latte, it can get quite expensive! Making it at home is much more wallet-friendly AND customizable 😆.
- It’s super versatile. You can swap out different milks or sweeteners. Want a honey matcha latte? Use honey instead of granulated sugar. Not feeling the blueberry? Try out my strawberry cold foam instead!
Ingredients
To make this easy blueberry matcha latte recipe at home, you’ll need the following ingredients:
Ingredient Notes
- I like to use culinary grade matcha powder for lattes, since ceremonial matcha is best enjoyed as a simple tea. The matcha powder is mixed with hot water until smooth, and then sweetened with sugar.
- The matcha mixture can be enjoyed with any type of milk.
- I used homemade blueberry jam, but feel free to use your favorite store-bought brand.
- The heavy cream gives the cold foam its unique fluffy, creamy texture, and the vanilla extract enhances its flavor!
- You can use any sweetener you prefer, such as granulated sugar, brown sugar, or alternative sugar. If using a liquid sweetener like honey or maple syrup, you will need to mix the ingredients a little bit longer.

How To Make A Blueberry Matcha Latte
Step 1: Use a sifter to sift your matcha powder into a bowl. Pour in hot water.

Step 3: Add ice and milk to your serving cup.
Step 4: Pour matcha mixture over your milk.
Step 5: Add blueberry jam, heavy cream, and vanilla to a mason jar. Seal and vigorously shake (or use a frother) until thick and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add sweetener and more jam to taste.
