1. Lychee Matcha soda
Lychee your way into a fruity, refreshing matcha experience unlike any other.
This pairing shines by uniting two traditions: matcha, grounded in Japanese tea ceremony with its deep, earthy flavour, and lychee, long cherished in Asian cuisine for its fragrant sweetness.
This drink pairs the earthy, umami-rich notes of premium matcha with the juicy sweetness of lychee, creating a perfectly balanced refreshment.
Served over ice, the vibrant green tea harmonises beautifully with the tropical fruit, offering a naturally sweet, floral flavour that feels both energising and indulgent.
Whether you’re a matcha fan or just exploring iced matcha recipes, this blend offers a refreshing boost of antioxidants, gentle caffeine, and tropical delight in every sip.
Pro tip: perhaps use Mogu Mogu lychee drink for more texture!

2. Coconut milk and Matcha bubble tea
If you’re craving a bubble tea that’s both creamy and refreshing, this iced matcha recipe is a perfect choice. Using Health My Lifestyle’s coconut milk gives the drink a naturally rich, velvety base that pairs beautifully with earthy matcha, while the chewy tapioca pearls add just the right amount of fun texture.
Pro tip : Blend the matcha and coconut milk first with a frother to create a light, airy layer before adding the boba.
For an extra pop of freshness and flavour, add/make a kiwi purée – the tangy sweetness complements the coconut and matcha beautifully, giving the drink a tropical, layered vibe.

3. Pineapple Matcha Mocktail
If you love summery drinks, this is for you. I first spotted this recipe on mocktail.net – they call it a pineapple matcha drink, but to me, it’s basically a matcha-twist on a piña colada.
I won’t claim it’s a textbook piña colada, but the ingredients line up: pineapple, coconut cream, and now a vibrant boost of matcha and a gorgeous green and gold swirl.
If there’s one drink that screams summer, it’s the piña colada – creamy, tropical, and instantly refreshing. What makes this version special is the way the earthy, slightly grassy notes of matcha cut through the sweetness of pineapple and the richness of coconut. It’s indulgent yet uplifting, like a vacation in a glass that also keeps you energized.
Pro tip : Use a milk frother to whisk the matcha and milk together first – it makes the drink extra fluffy and creamy, almost like a real piña colada.
For a little tropical flair, coat the rim of your glass with honey and dip it into shredded / roasted coconut. It’s a small detail, but it makes every sip feel like a treat.
4. Mango Sticky Rice Matcha Latte
If your usual matcha latte needs a vacation, this is the ticket. Inspired by the beloved Thai dessert, this iced matcha recipe layers creamy coconut, juicy mango, and just a hint of sticky rice for texture, all swirling together with the deep, earthy notes of matcha.
Use fresh honey mango if you can (it makes a huge difference), or blend up into a mango purée for that golden burst.
We love it because it is tropical, vibrant and the playful layering and unexpected swirls of mango and matcha feels youthful, lively, and a little bit magical, perfect for mornings when you want your drink to spark joy as much as energy.
Pro tip : For an extra chewiness of sticky rice, I found that blending a small amount of cooked sticky rice into the mango adds more texture.
5. Matcha and Earl Grey Latte
If you’re craving a iced matcha recipe that’s a little more quieter and contemplative, this Earl Grey Matcha Latte with a pinch of sea salt invites you to slow down. Imagine sitting on a cliffside, waves crashing below, or curling up with a book in a quiet café – this is that kind of drink.
Whether the milk is frothy or lightly stirred, every cup feels deliberate, a small pause in the day. The flavours linger, not flashy but quietly bold, rewarding those who notice the details- the whisper of citrus, the gentle touch of salt, the smooth matcha finish.
It’s the kind of drink that pairs as well with a favourite chair by the window as it does with thoughtful conversation.
Pro tip: If you like your matcha drinks more on the savoury side, don’t skip the salt – it balances the natural bitterness of the tea and highlights the subtle citrusy notes of the Earl Grey
6. Banana Cream Matcha Latte
If you cravings are leaning towards a dessert, this Banana Cream Matcha Latte is a little indulgence in a cup. Ripe banana, smooth matcha, a hint of vanilla, and a drizzle of caramel come together to create a creamy, dreamy drink that’s rich without ever feeling heavy.
What makes this iced matcha recipe so special is how it transforms matcha from a classic green tea ritual into something nostalgic and fun. Every sip is like a familiar favourite reimagined – sweet and comforting, yet still carrying that earthy, vibrant matcha note underneath.

7. Coconut matcha cloud
This iced matcha recipe gives a lighter and more refreshing feel while still letting the matcha hover beautifully on top. The whipped coconut milk creates a soft, airy cloud that makes the matcha float like a little green island
Watching the matcha float before it slowly swirls into the coconut water layer is almost meditative – like sipping a cloud.
Pro tip : I would recommend Yuzu syrup if you want a citrusy, tangy flavour. Yuzu and the coconut float together like a dreamy, citrusy cloud of matcha goodness. Or, if you are not a fan of either sweet or citrus, coconut water is a perfect substitute – really showcasing that cloud look to the drink.

8. Guava Matcha Latte
Guava a moment?
This iced matcha recipe brings a lively, unexpected flavour combo.
Blending the subtle tang of guava with the rich, smooth flavour of matcha, this combination creates a drink that’s bright and refreshing, with a unique balance of sweetness and earthiness.
Unlike a standard strawberry matcha latte, it feels adventurous without being overwhelming, offering a flavour experience that’s genuinely different.
It is ideal for matcha enthusiasts ready to step outside the usual combinations, or for newcomers curious about exploring bolder flavours. Serve it iced for a vibrant, sunny refreshment, or warm for a cozy twist that still surprises the palate.
9. Iced Blueberry and Matcha latte
If you have been scrolling through social media lately, you have probably noticed the rise in blueberry matcha. The striking layers of vibrant green and the deep purple-blueberry swirl make it one of the most eye-catching drinks out there.
What makes this iced matcha recipe so special is how the tart, juicy sweetness of blueberries complements the earthy richness of matcha, creating a balance that feels fresh, refined, and a little bit unexpected. Unlike strawberry matcha, which has already had its moment, blueberry brings a tangy, almost floral twist that feels modern and adventurous while still being approachable.
I especially love how each recipe spins it differently – some add coconut milk for creaminess, others brighten it with lemon, and a few even toss in chia for texture. However you make it, blueberry matcha offers both a stunning visual and a refreshing flavour profile that’s energizing without being overwhelming.
It is perfect for a refreshing morning pick-me-up or a sophisticated afternoon treat. This drink is approachable for matcha newbies but exciting enough for long-time fans.
Pro Tip: Try layering blueberry puree on the bottom and gently pouring frothy matcha on top (it almost looks like a miniature sunset in a glass).
