Hey Matcha Lover!

Banana bread, but make it matcha.

This cinnamon-spiced twist on an iced matcha latte brings cosy bakery vibes - no oven needed. Earthy matcha meets banana and warm spice, mellowed with milk and a touch of syrup.

It's basically a hug in a glass, perfect for brunch or an afternoon pick-me-up. Watch the video on our Instagram.

Here's what you'll need:

For the banana bread syrup:

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ½ cup water

• 1 ripe banana, blended to a smooth purée

• A pinch of cinnamon

• A pinch of cardamom

For the matcha latte:

• Banana bread syrup (from above)

• Milk of choice (around 200-250 ml)

• 2g/ 1 tsp PerfectTed Original Matcha Powder

• 30-40 ml warm water (under 80 °C)

• Ice (optional but lovely for iced drinks)

1. Make the banana bread syrup:

In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, water, banana purée, cinnamon and cardamom. Warm gently until the sugar dissolves and everything loosens into a glossy syrup. You can blend again if you like a perfectly smooth texture.

2. Whisk the matcha:
Place the 2g of PerfectTed Original Matcha Powder in a small bowl. Add 30-40 ml of warm water (less than 80 °C) and whisk briskly until smooth and lightly frothy.

3. Prepare the glass:
Fill a glass with ice (if using). Add a generous splash of the homemade banana bread syrup.

4. Add the milk:
Pour your milk of choice over the syrup and ice. Stir gently to combine.

5. Top with matcha:
Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the milk and enjoy the layered look before stirring it all together.
