This Thermomix Iced Matcha Latte is my current obsession because it gives me that calm, steady focus without the rollercoaster. Matcha has naturally occurring compounds (hello, L-theanine) that help you feel alert + grounded instead of wired and frazzled.
And the best part? When you make it in the Thermomix, it turns out ridiculously smooth — no clumps, no gritty bits, no "green swamp water" vibes. Just creamy, café-level matcha in seconds.
Why Matcha Hits Different (In a Good Way)
Here's why matcha is such a win if you're trying to feel better day-to-day:
• No jitters, no crash: You get a slower-release energy that lasts longer.
• Antioxidant-rich: Matcha is loaded with powerful plant compounds.
• Gentler option: Many people find it easier on digestion than strong coffee.
• Great for busy days: Calm focus > chaos energy.
If coffee makes you feel like a productive squirrel for 45 minutes and then ruins your mood... matcha is your upgrade.
• Add the water and honey to the Thermomix bowl and Warm Up /80°C.
• Add the matcha powder and mix 10 sec/speed 3. Scrape down the sides and repeat if needed until completely smooth and dissolved.
• Add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix 10 sec/speed 5
• Fill a glass with ice and pour the matcha mixture over the top. Serve immediately.
TIPS:
Matcha quality matters: bright green matcha will taste smooth and naturally sweet, while dull green can be bitter. be sure to use pure matcha powder, not a sweetened mix
Avoid boiling water — it makes matcha harsh and astringent.
For extra froth, blend the final step 10 sec / Speed 7.
Adjust milk quantity slightly for a stronger or lighter flavour.
Dairy-free: use homemade cashew or hemp milk for extra creaminess
Spiced: add a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg
Less sweet: reduce honey to 1 tsp or omit entirely
Double everything to make two serves
