🥭 Necessary ingredients

For a classic Mango Matcha Latte

To prepare a refreshing Mango Matcha Latte, you will need the following ingredients:

1 to 2 matcha spoons of Kaori-san, Mei-san or Daichi-san
60 ml hot water (not boiling)
200 ml cold coconut milk or almond milk
100g fresh ripe mango (or 80ml mango puree)
1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or agave syrup (optional)
A handful of ice cubes
A few slices of mango for decoration

For tropical variations

It is possible to enhance your mango matcha latte with other exotic flavors. Here are some ideas:

A tablespoon of concentrated coconut milk for extra creaminess.
A pinch of vanilla or a few drops of vanilla extract.
Lime juice for a tangy and refreshing note.
Fresh pineapple pieces for an explosion of tropical flavors.

In addition to these variations, you can also experiment with half a frozen banana which will provide a creamy consistency similar to a smoothie. Oat milk, with its naturally smooth texture, pairs perfectly with mango while preserving the authenticity of the matcha.

For an even more gourmet version, try adding a teaspoon of coconut butter or a few chia seeds to create a unique texture. Remember that the quality of the mango is crucial: choose a ripe, fragrant, and slightly soft mango for the best possible flavor.

Preparation steps

1. Prepare the matcha base

Start by sifting the matcha powder into a bowl to remove lumps. Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small whisk to mix the matcha with the hot water. Slowly pour the hot water over the matcha and whisk vigorously in "M" movements (like Maïdo... 😉) until you get a frothy and homogeneous consistency.

💡 Our advice:

Before using your whisk, remember to soak the bristles in hot water to relax the bamboo. For this summer recipe, prepare your matcha with less water than usual to obtain a more concentrated base that will better resist the dilution of ice cubes.

2. Prepare the mango puree

Peel and cut the mango into pieces. Blend it in a blender until you get a smooth and velvety puree. If you are using frozen mango, let it thaw slightly before blending. Add honey or agave syrup to your taste and blend again to incorporate the sweetener well.

3. Assemble and serve

In a large glass, first place the ice cubes. Pour the mango puree into the bottom of the glass, then gently add the cold milk. Finally, pour the cooled matcha preparation in a stream to create a beautiful layered effect. Decorate with fresh mango slices and a pinch of matcha on top.

💡 Our tip for a perfect visual effect:

To get beautiful distinct layers, pour each liquid very slowly over the back of a spoon. This creates a magnificent gradient, perfect for your photos. Gently mix before tasting to combine all the tropical flavors.

Tips for a perfect mango matcha latte

Choosing the right matcha powder

The quality of the matcha powder is essential to perfectly balance the tropical flavors. Opt for Kaori-san, our gourmet and creative matcha, which harmonizes wonderfully with the sweetness of mango. For a softer and more accessible experience, Mei-san will be perfect for beginners with its tender and bitterness-free personality.

Choosing your mango well

A perfectly ripe mango makes all the difference in your mango matcha latte. It should be slightly soft to the touch, emit an intense fruity fragrance, and have skin that yields slightly to pressure. Alphonso, Kent, or Tommy Atkins varieties are particularly recommended for their creamy flesh and naturally sweet taste that pairs perfectly with matcha.

Customize your summer creation

The beauty of the mango matcha latte lies in its tropical versatility. Add fresh mint for extra freshness, a hint of ginger for a spicy note, or even chia seeds for an original texture and additional nutritional benefits. Each variation can become your personal summer signature. For an even healthier version, monitor calories by opting for natural sweeteners like dates or reducing the amount of honey.

By following these simple steps and experimenting with the ingredients, everyone can create their own perfect mango matcha latte. Whether to cool down on a hot summer day or to treat yourself to an exotic break, this drink perfectly combines the benefits of matcha with the tropical sweetness of mango.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your matcha and the most beautiful mangoes, and let yourself be carried away by this unique summer creation. Enjoy all the antioxidant benefits of matcha while treating yourself to a moment of tropical freshness and authentic gustatory pleasure.
