What is a Blueberry Matcha Latte?

A blueberry matcha latte is a creamy, delicious drink made from just three simple ingredients: fresh matcha green tea, cold milk, and sweetened blueberries. It’s the perfect balance of sweetness from the berries and earthy flavor from the matcha that makes this beverage so satisfyingly refreshing.
What does the blueberry matcha latte taste like?
The taste and flavor of a blueberry matcha latte is truly unique and unlike any other drink out there. The sweetness of the blueberries is balanced by the earthy, slightly bitter flavor of the matcha green tea. The result is a delicious beverage that’s both refreshing and satisfying. The flavors are subtle yet deep, making it the perfect pick-me-up for any time of day. I like to drink mine slowly, savoring each sip and flavor! It’s a fairly sweet drink and may be considered a dessert drink.
Ingredients in a Blueberry Matcha Latte

- Fresh Blueberries – Blueberries are one of nature’s most delicious and nutritious fruits. Not only are they incredibly sweet, but they also provide a number of essential vitamins and minerals, as well as powerful antioxidants that help to protect against disease. Blueberries are high in fiber and low in calories, making them an ideal snack.
- Sugar – Sugar is a key ingredient in many recipes, and this blueberry matcha latte recipe is no exception. Sugar adds sweetness and helps to balance out the earthy flavor of the matcha. It’s important to use the right kind of sugar that will dissolve easily in cold liquids – granulated or caster sugar works best. You can also substitute with honey or stevia if you prefer although the finished result might taste a little different.
- Matcha – What is Matcha? Matcha is a type of finely ground Japanese green tea powder. Unlike other types of green tea, matcha is made from the entire leaf, which has been shade-grown and carefully harvested. This process helps to bring out more flavor in the leaves, resulting in a smoother, more flavorful cup of tea. Chose a high-quality ceremonial grade matcha powder.
- Cold Milk – Milk is an important ingredient for this recipe because it adds a creamy texture and helps to balance and bring together the blueberries and matcha. For a vegan option, you can substitute almond milk or your favorite non-dairy milk like oat milk which is my personal favorite.
- Filtered Water – Water is an essential ingredient in a delicious blueberry matcha latte. It helps to create the perfect consistency for your drink and also serves as the base for the other ingredients to blend together. When making this blueberry matcha latte I like to use filtered or spring water.

Helpful Kitchen Tools
Blueberry Matcha Latte Recipe
Prepare Blueberries: Start by rinsing the blueberries and removing any debris or stems from them. Add blueberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup water to a small saucepan and allow to slowly cook until ingredients are incorporated.

The sugar should be fully dissolved. This will look a little like a blueberry compote. Set aside and allow to cool.

Whisk Matcha: Add matcha and 1/4 cup water to a small bowl and whisk together until light and foamy. You can use either a bamboo whisk or an electric whisk.

Prepare Drink: Once blueberries are cooked and cooled, divide the blueberry compote between two cups.

Top berries with a scoop of ice,

pour over the milk

Finish with the whisked matcha. Enjoy this delicious sip with a straw if desired!

Recipe Tips
- Use high-quality matcha green tea – The quality of your matcha tea will directly impact the overall flavor of your latte. Look for ceremonial grade matcha rather than the culinary grade. Ceremonial matcha will have a bright green color.
- Be careful not to use hot water for whisking your matcha. Matcha is best when made with water at a lower temperature.
- Adjust sweetness to taste – Depending on your personal preference, you can adjust the amount of sugar used in this recipe. If you want a sweeter latte, add more sugar to the blueberry compote or serve with an additional sprinkle of sugar on top. On the other hand, if this drink is too sweet for your taste then use less sugar. Blueberries are naturally sweet so just a little sweetener can go a long way.
- Not of fan of the cooked blueberry texture? You can strain out the cooked berries, pressing down on them to squeeze out all the juice and just use the sweetened blueberry syrup in your latte.
- Use homemade oat milk – Homemade oat milk is a delicious alternative to dairy and provides a creamy texture to the latte.
- Serve immediately – Blueberry matcha lattes are best enjoyed fresh.
- If you don’t have fresh blueberries available you can substitute with frozen blueberries.
Getting the Ratios and Layers Right!
The top layer is made up of the whisked matcha, while the bottom layer consists of the blueberry. Ratios are very important when it comes to making the perfect blueberry matcha latte. The ratio of matcha to water should be one teaspoon of matcha to 1/4 of cold water, as this will ensure that the tea is perfectly whisked with no clumps. The ratio of blueberries to sugar should also be balanced as too much sugar will make the latte overly sweet. Customize and experiment as you go, and you’ll find the perfect amount for your flavor palate!
Adding Boba
If you a bubble tea fan, you can add boba to this recipe! Tapioca pearls add more texture to this drink. You can choose from a large variety of flavored boba balls, but I would opt for a traditional flavor such as black sugar tapioca pearls. Read about bubble tea and how to cook boba in this recipe!
Health Benefits and Risks
Is blueberry matcha good for you? Not only is it incredibly tasty, but it also may provide a number of health benefits.
Matcha tea contains high levels of antioxidants, which may help reduce inflammation and boost the immune system. Blueberries are packed with nutrients and antioxidants that help promote heart health, protect against cancer, and improve brain function. Additionally, the milk used in this recipe provides a good source of calcium and protein.
Blueberries and matcha are generally considered safe in moderation, but it is always good to check with your trusted medical professional before making changes to your wellness routines.
Despite its many benefits, it is important to be aware that this latte still contains sugar which can be damaging to your teeth if consumed in excess. If you want to enjoy this beverage regularly, try substituting the sugar with a natural sweetener such as honey or maple syrup. Additionally, if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies be sure to read all ingredient labels before consuming.
Caffeine
What is caffeine? Caffeine is a stimulant known to increase alertness, focus, and energy levels. It is found in many beverages like coffee, energy drinks, and teas like matcha.
