Iced matcha latte recipe circulates on X

X user @TawisaClear circulated a simple iced matcha latte recipe on May 19, 2026, in a post that described whisking 1 teaspoon of matcha with 2 tablespoons of hot water, pouring it over ice and topping it with oat milk. The post was cited in a social-media briefing that tracked matcha discussion on X over the last 48 hours. A second variation linked to the same thread recommended oat milk with 1 teaspoon of honey shaken over ice. The posts added to a broader run of matcha recipes and promotions appearing online this month. ### What exactly did the X post say? The May 19 post from @TawisaClear was described in the source briefing as a short how-to for an iced matcha latte: 1 teaspoon of matcha, 2 tablespoons of hot water, ice and oat milk. The same briefing said another post in the thread offered a quicker variation using oat milk and 1 teaspoon of honey shaken over ice, also credited to @TawisaClear. (x.com) The X page itself was not fully readable through the web fetch, but the post URL matched the briefing’s cited link for the recipe thread. Reuters could not independently confirm additional wording beyond the recipe details contained in the briefing and linked post reference. ### Why does the recipe use hot water first? Two tablespoons of hot water is a standard mixing step in many iced matcha recipes because matcha powder disperses more easily before milk and ice are added. (x.com) A recent iced matcha recipe published by Healthy Fitness Meals used the same basic step, instructing readers to add matcha powder and then top it with 2 tablespoons of hot water. A separate recipe published on May 17 by Not Quite Nigella also described iced matcha lattes as a simple at-home drink made with matcha powder, oat milk and optional sweetener. That recipe framed the drink as customizable and cheaper than buying it from a cafe. ### Why oat milk and honey? Oat milk has become a common pairing in iced matcha recipes and retail products. (healthyfitnessmeals.com) Healthy Fitness Meals said oat milk works well in homemade iced matcha, while MatchaBar markets instant iced matcha latte products built around oat milk powder. Honey is also a familiar sweetener in matcha recipes. A TikTok recipe surfaced in search results described whisking matcha with hot water, then combining it with oat milk and honey over ice. (notquitenigella.com) That does not verify the X thread itself, but it shows the honey-and-oat-milk variation fits an already common recipe pattern. ### Is this part of a bigger matcha wave? (healthyfitnessmeals.com) May 2 was National Matcha Day in the United States, and Dunkin’ said Rewards members could earn triple points on matcha purchases that day. Milk Bar and Jade Leaf Matcha also launched matcha items tied to the occasion, according to coverage compiled in search results. The broader briefing for this story also pointed to new commercial matcha launches in 2026, including Tchibo’s rollout of four matcha drinks across 120 coffee bars in Austria. (tiktok.com) The same briefing said current coverage shows matcha continuing to spread across menus, with added attention on product quality and at-home preparation. ### Where can readers find the recipe now? (news.dunkindonuts.com) The cited X post is attached to @TawisaClear’s thread and was identified in the briefing as the source for both recipe variations. Readers looking for the original wording would need to view that X thread directly, where the post remained linked in the source material on May 20, 2026. (x.com) (swikblog.com)
