Mango Iced Matcha

If summer had an official matcha flavor, I think it would be mango.

There’s something about the combination of sweet tropical mango and earthy matcha that just works. It’s refreshing, creamy, slightly sweet, and feels like the kind of drink you’d order from a trendy café and immediately try to recreate at home.

This Mango Iced Matcha has quickly become one of my favorite summer drinks. It starts with a homemade mango syrup, gets layered with creamy milk and vibrant matcha, then finished with a cloud-like mango cold foam that takes it completely over the top.

It’s beautiful, delicious, and surprisingly easy to make.

Ingredients

For the Mango Syrup

1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar or Lakanto monkfruit sweetener
1 cup diced mango (fresh or frozen)

For the Mango Cold Foam

¼ cup heavy cream
2 tbsp milk of choice
2 tablespoons mango syrup

For the Latte

2–4 tablespoons mango syrup
Ice
2 teaspoons matcha powder
¼ cup hot water
4 ounces milk of choice

Instructions

Make the Mango Syrup

Add the water, sugar, and diced mango to a small saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango becomes soft and the syrup is fragrant.

Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing gently on the mango pieces to extract all that delicious flavor.

Transfer to a jar and refrigerate until ready to use.

Make the Mango Cold Foam

Add the heavy cream, milk, and mango syrup to a frother or small blender.

Blend until thick, creamy, and fluffy.

Set aside while you assemble the drink.

Assemble the Latte

Add 2–4 tablespoons of mango syrup to the bottom of your favorite glass.

Fill the glass with lots of ice.

Pour in the milk of choice.

In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with the hot water until completely smooth and frothy.

Slowly pour the matcha over the milk to create beautiful layers.

Top generously with the mango cold foam.

Serve layered for the full café experience or stir everything together before sipping.

Tips

Fresh mango provides the brightest flavor, but frozen mango works beautifully too.
Make the syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for easy drinks throughout the week.
Adjust the amount of mango syrup depending on how sweet you like your matcha.
Oat milk, coconut milk, and whole milk all work great in this recipe.
For an extra tropical twist, garnish with fresh mango cubes.
