How to Make Iced Matcha Tea with the Iced Drinks Glasses Set

Quick Answer

To make a smooth iced matcha tea, whisk matcha powder with a small amount of hot water to form a paste, then pour it over ice and top with cold milk or water. Serve in the Iced Drinks Glasses Set for a stylish, heat-safe presentation.

Steps to Make Iced Matcha Tea

1. Step 1: Prepare Your Matcha Concentrate: Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl to remove clumps. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling, about 175°F/80°C). Whisk in a zigzag motion until smooth and frothy. Sifting prevents lumps; skipping this step can result in a gritty drink.
2. Step 2: Assemble the Iced Drinks Glass: Fill your Iced Drinks Glass with ice cubes. If you want a creamy matcha latte, leave room for milk. For a plain iced matcha, fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Using too much ice can dilute the flavor; adjust ice quantity based on your milk or water addition.
3. Step 3: Pour and Stir: Pour the matcha concentrate over the ice. Add cold milk (dairy or plant-based) or cold water to fill the glass. Stir gently with the glass straw provided in the set. Pour slowly to avoid splashing; the glass straw is delicate, so stir gently to avoid breakage.
4. Step 4: Garnish and Serve: Optional: Add a splash of vanilla syrup or a sprinkle of matcha powder on top. Serve immediately with the glass straw. Clean the glass and straw with the included cleaner after use. The borosilicate glass is heat-resistant but not scratch-proof; hand wash with the straw cleaner to keep it crystal clear.
