Copycat Starbucks Iced Brown Sugar Matcha Latte

• Brown sugar syrup: 1/4 cup packed dark or light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• Pinch of ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp culinary or ceremonial matcha powder, sifted
• 3 tbsp hot water (about 175°F)
• 1 cup cold milk (oat milk is closest to the cafe version)
• 1 cup ice

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the syrup. Combine the brown sugar, water, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until dissolved, simmer 2 minutes, then cool for 5 minutes. You will have extra, so keep it in a jar.

2. 2

   Sift the matcha into a small bowl. Add the hot water and whisk in a zigzag motion until completely smooth with no clumps.

3. 3

   Stir 2 tbsp of the brown sugar syrup into the matcha.

4. 4

   Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in the milk, then slowly pour the sweetened matcha over the top.

5. 5

   Stir before drinking. Add more syrup if you want it sweeter.
