I’ve been waiting until just the right time to share this peachy matcha with you all. It’s now the second week of July and those sweet summer peaches are finally beginning to taste delicious. Expect lots of peach recipes to come! I first saw this drink at Starbucks as part of their secret menu. Peach lemonade swirled with matcha, then mixed with creamy milk. I think they use coconut milk. It looked and sounded so yummy and refreshing for summertime, I knew I had to do my best to recreate it. I’m curious, do you drink Starbucks? Have you seen this drink? Have you had it? A couple of weeks ago, I spent the day recreating my version of the drink. By the end of the day, I was beyond excited to share the recipe!!
Here are the details
Step 1: make the peach lemonade This is what I call cheater peach lemonade, but it’s so delicious. And so simple, which was the idea. Peach jam blended with fresh lemonade and water. The jam is sweet, so blending it with fresh lemon juice and water is all you need to do. Nothing fancy, no cooking, and really quick. Plus, it’s very peachy, which is what we want! Step 2: make the matcha Make sure you use high-quality matcha, then blend it with hot water. If you like a sweet matcha, add a touch of honey too. You can use a handheld whisk, a blender, a matcha whisk, or even just a fork. Do your best to get it really blended. Then, mix the matcha with ice water. Step 3: mix the latte I love to use crushed ice, and always a fun glass. Add the matcha, then pour over the peach lemonade. Now the milk. This makes it creamy and delicious. I prefer to use raw milk, goat milk is what we drink. Or if you want a plant-based option, use unsweetened coconut milk. delish too. Swirl the layers together and add a fresh peach slice or two if you’d enjoy that.
If you want fancy
Make ice cubes! For this drink, I would do peach cubes or peach jam frozen into lemon juice (lemon juice and water, mixed). That would be so delicious and pretty! Another fun idea is to make cubes with fresh berries or edible flowers in water – or use milk. You can also make green matcha cubes, which would be fun too. The homemade cubes keep the drink ice-cold and creamy. Have fun with the ice!
