Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh mango chunks (or 1 cup frozen mango, thawed)

1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Additional mango slices (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Puree: If using fresh mango, begin by peeling and chopping the mango into small, uniform pieces. Place the mango chunks into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. For frozen mango, allow it to thaw slightly for about 10-15 minutes, then blend until you achieve a similar smooth consistency. Set the mango puree aside for later.

    Mix the Matcha: In a small bowl, combine the matcha green tea powder with 1 tablespoon of hot water (but not boiling, around 175°F or 80°C works best). Use a whisk, preferably a bamboo whisk, but a regular spoon will suffice, to mix until the matcha is fully dissolved and free from lumps. Allow this mixture to cool slightly.

      Combine the Base: In a large glass or a jar, pour in the coconut milk and add the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Take the cooled matcha paste and add it to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well integrated and the sweetener is dissolved.

        Layer It Up: Take another glass and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Carefully pour the mango puree over the ice, ensuring that the glass is filled to the rim without overflowing.

          Pour the Matcha Mixture: Gradually pour the matcha and coconut milk blend over the mango puree. To create a visually stunning layered effect, pour it slowly over the back of a spoon, allowing the matcha to float atop the mango puree.

            Garnish and Serve: If desired, gently stir the mixture to combine before sipping, or retain the layers for an eye-catching display. Add a few fresh mint leaves and some extra mango slices on top for a finishing touch.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best flavor and presentation, and take a moment to relish your refreshing iced mango matcha latte!
