Raspberry Matcha Latte (5 Minute Easy Recipe)

Make this impressive and delicious raspberry matcha latte and in just 5 minutes? Yes! I’ll show you how.

Iced matcha drinks are so addictive and refreshing. With raspberry flavor as a twist, it makes this matcha latte uniquely different and irresistible.

With the rising prices of matcha drinks in boba shops… I paid $10 for strawberry matcha with almond milk recently! And I wasn’t happy with the flavor. =( It’s so much more affordable to make it at home and with your preferred ingredients.

After you learn how easy it is to make this at home, the matcha drinks you buy won’t taste as good!

Does this Raspberry Matcha have boba?

No. A reader pointed out that the recipe had a boba instruction but it has since been corrected. There is no room for boba because of the raspberry layer.

3 Layered Iced Matcha Origin

Where did the 3 layered drink come from? Originally, The Boba Guys, a popular boba shop in San Francisco, came up with the Strawberry Matcha Latte. You can check out their extensive boba drink menu.

It’s so colorful and an interesting variation on matcha drinks that it’s reminiscent how alcoholic cocktails are beautifully presented. But now these gorgeous matcha drinks are nonalcoholic that everyone can enjoy them.

How to Pour Layers for Raspberry Matcha Latte

Here are my pouring tips:

1. Be sure that all liquids are cold or room temperature, not warm or hot.
2. Make sure the drink has lots of ice, at least 2 inches over the bottom layer.
3. Use a measuring cup with a spout or milk frother cup to pour so that the liquid comes out in a narrow stream.
4. Pour over 1 ice cube only. If the ice cube starts moving while you are pouring, then follow the ice cube.

How to Make This in 5 Minutes

Instead of pureeing the raspberries, I use raspberry jam from Trader Joe’s. It’s almost the same thing except that the raspberries in the jam are cooked. But it’s ready to go and adds a delicate flavor to the matcha.

The Layers

Top: Matcha

Middle: Milk or Milk Substitute

Bottom: Raspberry Jam

Sweetness Level

Sweetness is a very personal preference, like how boba shops offer different sweetness levels. Since milk and milk substitutes have various amounts of sugar, you will have to adjust the sweetness to your taste.

The raspberry jam that was used to test this recipe is the Trader Joe’s Low Sugar Raspberry Jam, and so the sweetness level is adjusted to this jam and to how sweet I like it to be. If you’re substituting this low sugar jam for a full sugar jam, then adjust the sweetness level accordingly.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 tsp matcha powder
• 3 tbsp water
• 1 cup soy milk or other milk substitute
• 3 tbsp Trader Joe's low sugar raspberry jam
• 1.5 tbsp honey optional

Instructions

 

Prep Matcha Mixture

• In a small bowl, add matcha powder and water. Whisk with a bamboo or wire whisk until no lumps remain, about 20 seconds. Set aside.

Prep Milk

• Pour milk or milk substitute into a measuring cup. Mix in honey until well dissolved. Set aside.

Bottom Jam Layer

• Carefully scoop raspberry jam and place into the bottom of glass cup. Using a spoon or butter knife, spread the jam around the bottom 1 inch sides of the glass, leaving some jam at the very bottom of the glass.

Add Ice Cubes

• Place ice cubes so that it's at least 2 inches above the jam layer.

Milk Layer

• Make sure milk is in a measuring cup with a spout. Carefully pour milk onto 1 ice cube, making sure to stay still. If the ice cube moves around, then follow the ice cube. Always make sure to have the milk hit the ice cube first before the jam layer.

Matcha Layer

• Pour matcha mixture into a measuring cup with a spout, carefully pour matcha mixture onto 1 ice cube without moving. Enjoy the beautiful layers! Before drinking, don't forget to mix all the layers well so that the sweetness of the jam will blend with the matcha and milk.

Notes

FYI: The Trader Joe’s Raspberry Jam that I used for this recipe is low sugar so I added more sweetener. And that’s my personal preference for sweetness level. But if you’re using a full sugar jam, then try it without the sweetener and adjust it to your liking. Sweetness level is a personal preference and you’re in full control of it when you make drinks on your own. If you’re using Costco and Trader Joe’s unsweetened soymilk, you might have to add more sweetener.
