Step-by-Step Instructions for Iced Matcha Lemongrass Latte
  1. Prepare Lemongrass: Slice fresh lemongrass stalks into small pieces and gently crush them to release aromatic oils. Set aside.
  2. Make Lemongrass Infusion: In a saucepan, boil 1 cup of water, add crushed lemongrass, and simmer for 5 minutes. Let steep for another 5 minutes before removing from heat.
  3. Strain Infusion: Strain into a heat-safe container to discard solids and cool to room temperature.
  4. Mix Matcha: In a small bowl, whisk 1 to 2 teaspoons of matcha powder with a few tablespoons of hot water until smooth.
  5. Combine Ingredients: In a tall glass, mix the cooled lemongrass infusion with milk and honey until dissolved.
  6. Layer the Matcha: Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the milk mixture to maintain the layers.
  7. Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes to keep the drink cold and visually appealing.
  8. Garnish (Optional): Top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
