With simple, real ingredients, this recipe is quick and easy—and beautiful, too!
Recipe
Cook the compote. Add the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, and water to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring often so the sugar melts.
Strain (optional). For a smoother syrup, strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Save the leftover blueberries for pancakes or ice cream.
Cool. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
Whisk the matcha. Sift the matcha powder into a bowl or mug. Top with the warm water and whisk in a zig-zag motion with a bamboo whisk until frothy.
Build the glass. Add the blueberry compote and ice to a serving glass, then pour in the milk and top with the matcha. Pour slowly to keep the layers separate.
Not only is this iced blueberry matcha delicious but it’s also packed with antioxidants from both the blueberries and matcha powder. Matcha contains catechins, powerful antioxidants linked to heart health and improved metabolism, while blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, which support brain health and can reduce overall inflammation.
Together, they make this drink both beneficial and delicious.
Both fresh and frozen blueberries work well in this recipe. Frozen blueberries may be an easier option if you’re making it in the middle of winter. Frozen blueberries also tend to have a slightly stronger taste. For a milder berry taste, opt for fresh.
This easy blueberry iced matcha is both refreshing and easy to make. Perfect with breakfast or as a mid-day pick-me-up. Short on time? Make the blueberry compote ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to use.
