Matcha frappuccino is easy to make in a blender in just a few seconds. This frozen green tea latte is sweet and delicious, and even comes with a blueberry swirl bottom.

Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Cream Topping:

  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 Tablespoon sweetened condensed milk

For the blueberry swirl (optional)*:

  • ½ cup (120 ml) blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • ½ Tablespoon agave syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons water

For the matcha frappuccino:

  • 4 cups (1 L) ice cubes or crushed ice
  • 1 ½ cup (360 ml) milk, any kind
  • 2 Tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 Tablespoon matcha powder + extra for dusting
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. For the whipped cream topping, whip together heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk, using a handheld milk frother. Whisk until it doubles in volume and forms soft peaks. Set aside.
  2. For the blueberry swirl (optional), combine blueberries, water and agave in a small blender and blend until smooth. Divide the blueberry puree in the bottom of two glasses.**
  3. For the middle milk layer (only if using the blueberry option), blend ice, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetened condensed milk in a strong blender. Divide about 2 to 3 Tablespoons of this mixture over the blueberry layer.
  4. For the matcha frappuccino, sift the matcha powder*** over the remaining milk mixture and blend again until perfectly smooth. Divide evenly into the glasses. Top with whipped cream and garnish with sifted matcha. Add a straw and enjoy right away.

Notes

* You can make this matcha frappuccino with or without the blueberry bottom. Both options work pretty well! If you do not use the berries, then you can add the matcha powder to the milk mixture right away (no need for the milky middle layer).

** Tip: You can cover the blueberry bottom with a layer of crushed ice; this will ensure the blueberries don’t get mix up with the matcha frappuccino and turn into a grey~ish color.

*** It’s important to sift the matcha powder rather than adding it all at once, or you may end up with matcha lumps in your frappuccino.
