Vanilla Coconut Matcha Latte

A seriously simple and delicious recipe for a Vanilla Coconut Matcha Latte, the perfect dairy free, gluten-free and vegan mid-morning pick-me-up.

I’m a coffee lover through and through. My morning is not complete without a mug of black coffee the size of a big gulp. It’s not just the caffeine that I’m craving, it’s the morning ritual of a warm comforting mug to wrap my hands around and sip in silence before the day really gets rolling.

I recently went to Korea and Japan on vacation (I promise once I finally go through all the photos, I will share them with you!) and gained a new appreciation for tea, specifically matcha. For one, it’s delicious. But, it’s also super versatile! The dry powder makes it easy to add into cakes, cookies, ice cream, cocktails, you name it!

My favorite way to enjoy it though is to keep it simple with a coconut milk latte in the morning (please don’t tell my French Press that I’m cheating on it!), especially on the weekends. It’s faster than brewing a cup of coffee and the smooth, nutty flavor is almost like dessert in a mug.

I tend to not add any sweetener since the coconut milk is naturally sweet but feel free to add in some coconut sugar, honey or sweetener of choice.

You guys, check this out! I created a video for you, to show you just how quickly you can whisk up this tasty latte!
