Matcha Mint Iced Tea
This refreshing Matcha Mint Iced Tea is my go-to for hot days, and I love how the mint adds a delightful freshness that complements the earthy matcha perfectly.
I’ll never forget the first time I sipped this iced tea on a warm summer afternoon while lounging in my garden.
The vibrant green color and the invigorating scent of mint instantly transport me to my happy place.
I discovered that steeping the mint leaves longer really enhances the flavor, so I always let them infuse for at least 10 minutes.
Trust me, it’s worth the wait!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh mint from my garden, but if you can't find it, dried mint can work too—just use about 1 tablespoon. The quality of matcha really matters, so if you can find a good ceremonial grade, it makes a world of difference in flavor.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my mint leaves in a glass jar with a little water in the fridge - they stay fresh for days!
- •Whisking the matcha in hot water before adding it to the mint helps it blend beautifully.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll toss in a few slices of fresh ginger while steeping the mint for an extra zing!
- •For a creamier version, add a splash of almond or coconut milk before serving.
Storage & Freezing
This iced tea is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a little stir before serving again to mix everything up!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different sweeteners?
Absolutely! I sometimes switch out maple syrup for agave or even a little stevia if I’m in a low-sugar mood.
