Dunkin’ Matcha Latte
A matcha latte is a creamy hot drink that’s made with matcha (green tea powder), sugar, and milk. At Dunkin’, all matcha drinks, including the matcha latte, are made with a matcha blend that already contains sugar.
Matcha is a Japanese green tea that’s been finely ground into a powder. Sweetened matcha is powdered green tea and sugar. Because matcha is made from green tea, this drink is caffeinated.
Note from Jee
The trickiest part for me in creating this copycat recipe was figuring out what kind of matcha was used at Dunkin’ to make this drink.
Every company makes their own blend of sweetened matcha, so they all taste different. I knew once I found out the matcha brand that Dunkin’ used, it wouldn’t be hard to figure out the rest of the recipe.

- The drink can be made using the exact same sweetened matcha that Dunkin’ uses.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Heat milk. Milk can be heated on the stovetop or in an electric milk frother.
Step 2: Place matcha powder in a mug.
Step 3: Pour in warmed milk.
Step 4: Stir to combine matcha into milk.
Expert Tips
- When warming milk on the stovetop, make sure to do so over low heat. Once it reaches a simmer, turn off the heat right away so the milk doesn’t boil and burn.
- You can also microwave the milk. Place the milk in a microwave-safe cup and heat it at 30-second, then 15-second intervals until warm.
- To make the milk frothy, pour the warm milk into a French press and give it a few pumps (about 20-30 pumps) until the milk doubles in volume.
- For an extra decadent drink, top with whipped cream.
