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

Notes
Always use fresh ingredients and ensure the lemongrass infusion is cool before mixing to avoid diluting the drink.
