Matcha is green tea leaves that have been finely ground into a powder. Matcha is mixed with water or milk to create a drink.
At Dunkin’, the drink has 4 ingredients, including a sweetened matcha blend, hot water, milk, and ice.
The pre-sweetened matcha blend is made of just sugar and matcha.

Dunkin’ uses whole milk for its iced matcha latte, but you can substitute any milk you like. - Ice
Filtered water makes the best tasting ice so use that if possible.

The combination of sweetened matcha with water, milk, and ice gives you the same flavor as the Dunkin’ iced matcha latte. No separate sweetener is needed since the matcha blend already contains sugar.
Make it dairy-free.
To make this a dairy-free drink, you can swap the whole milk for plant-based options such as oat milk.
Iced matcha latte is a caffeinated drink.
Since matcha powder is made from green tea leaves, this drink does contain caffeine. Matcha is less caffeinated than coffee, but if you’re sensitive to it, you may want to consider a caffeine-free drink.
Expert Tips
- Top with whipped cream to make your iced matcha latte extra rich.
- Cold foam would also give your drink a decadent finish. Go with a matcha cold foam to double down on the green tea flavor or a strawberry cold foam for a nice, fruity kick.
- Enjoy with tapioca balls as a matcha bubble tea.
