How to Improve Your Vanilla Matcha Latte
This matcha vanilla tea latte works great on its own, but if you want to personalize the vanilla matcha latte recipe and make it your very own, here are a few tips you can try.
Upgrade the vanilla
Using fresh vanilla beans instead of extract will give your vanilla matcha green tea latte a deeper, more aromatic flavor. The natural vanilla complements the smooth matcha beautifully.

Upgrade the matcha for your Vanilla matcha
If you want a more vibrant green color and smoother flavor in your vanilla matcha latte, you can use a higher quality ceremonial matcha.
Add sweetness
If you prefer your drink a bit sweeter, add a touch of honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup. The natural sweetness pairs well with both matcha and vanilla, making your vanilla matcha tea a more indulgent treat.
Try different milks
While oat milk creates a creamy texture, you can experiment with other non-dairy milks like almond or coconut milk. Coconut milk, in particular, adds a tropical flavor that complements the matcha vanilla tea.
Chill it for a refreshing iced version
To make an iced vanilla matcha latte, simply pour the matcha and vanilla mixture over ice and add cold frothed milk. It’s perfect for warm days or when you’re craving a chilled drink.
