If your usual iced drinks are starting to feel a bit meh, this chilled salted caramel matcha might be just the shake-up you need. It’s creamy, cool, and quietly addictive — a mix of plant-based milk, matcha powder, ice, and a swirl of salted caramel syrup that somehow feels both soothing and indulgent at once. The matcha brings a calm, focused kind of energy (no caffeine jitters here), while the caramel and sea salt add a sweet-savory twist that makes every sip a little extra. Whether you’re powering through a to-do list or just hiding from the afternoon heat, this drink totally gets the job done — and makes it feel like a treat.
Ingredients
1 tsp matcha powder
1 cup plant-based protein-rich milk
1 cup ice
1/4 cup homemade salted caramel
Instructions
In a blender cup, blend the matcha powder with 1/2 cup milk.
Add the ice, the rest of the milk and half of the caramel, and blend once more.
Pour the blend to a tall glass (yields about 2 fl.oz/350mL) and add the rest of the caramel.
Gently swirl in the caramel, and serve!
Notes
If you don't have or cannot use a blender, sift the matcha and milk mixture well until consistent, and thereafter add crushed ice instead of ice cubes.
The Latest Bite
Fig and Beet Salad
When we hosted a summer dinner recently, we wanted something that felt fresh and thoughtful without requiring a lot of time or fuss in the kitchen. This salad came together naturally—raw yellow beet for crunch and earthiness, sweet dried figs for a touch of richness, and peppery arugula balanced by the light, delicate alfalfa sprouts. The date-mustard dressing adds just the right hint of sweetness and tang to bring it all together. It wasn’t meant to steal the show, but quietly complemented the meal and fit perfectly with the relaxed, easygoing atmosphere we hoped to create.
