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
No-Bake Pistachio Ice Cream Cake
I love ice-cream cakes, and it is so hard to find vegan ones in stores, so I knew at some point I'd want to try and whip a recipe up, but one thing that's always a factor for me is whether or not it'll be a time-consuming project or not. If I need to use my mixer, food processor or oven, it means I need to plan for more dishes and more time spent on this, and that's where I sometimes hold off on exploring and developing new recipes. I was not only aiming for an easy-to-make recipe here, but also one that requires very few ingredients and as allergen-friendly as possible. This makes it a store-in-the-freezer dessert for when I have unexpected guests, or when we are on the road and want an indulgent treat.
Made primarily from raw pistachio butter, coconut cream and almond flour, this easy no-bake cake is elemental and holds texture and flavor impressively. Compliments are guaranteed!
