Iced Matcha Latte

---

I love an iced beverage during the hot summer months. Iced tea and iced coffee are classics, but I’m currently obsessed with iced matcha lattes. What I love most about them is how quick they are to whip up. Iced coffee/tea require brewing or steeping, but Matcha powder dissolves instantly so you can enjoy a creamy latte in mere seconds.

Matcha Gelato

If I had to sum up the difference between gelato and ice cream with just one word it would be this: FLAVOR. Unlike ice cream, gelato is made with mostly milk, not cream or egg yolks. Both cream and egg yolks contain a lot of fat, which contribute to rich and creamy texture, but they also have a tendency to dull flavors, especially in cold foods. Gelato is also easier to make because all you have to do is heat the base mixture until it reaches a boil. No tempering of eggs or cooking until the base thickens to a custard. But hey, if you want to check out a more traditional custard-based recipe, I’ve got you covered - Click Here for my Matcha Ice Cream recipe.
