Matcha Milkshake Recipe: Thick, Creamy Green Tea Shake in 5 Minutes

A matcha milkshake is thicker and richer than a matcha frappe, made primarily with ice cream rather than just ice. The result is an indulgent, café-quality drink that is surprisingly easy to make at home. This recipe is popular with children and adults alike, and works well as a dessert drink at Eid gatherings or family celebrations. All recipes use matcha from Matcha.bd is available with Cash on Delivery.

INFO:  Prep time: 5 minutes. Serves: 1 large or 2 small. No cooking required.

Classic Matcha Milkshake

Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount
Matcha powder	1.5 teaspoons
Hot water (80 degrees)	2 tablespoons
Vanilla ice cream	3 large scoops
Milk	100ml
Honey or sugar	1 tablespoon
Ice cubes	Small handful (optional)

 

Method

1.    Whisk matcha with hot water until completely smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

2.    Add matcha paste, ice cream, milk, and sweetener to blender.

3.    Blend for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth.

4.    Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

5.    Pour into a chilled glass. Top with a swirl of whipped cream and a dusting of matcha powder.

TIP:  For the thickest milkshake, use cold ice cream straight from the freezer and blend as briefly as possible. Over-blending warms the ice cream and makes the shake runny.

 

Premium Matcha Milkshake

For a more intense matcha flavour and a green colour striking enough to photograph, increase the matcha and use a higher grade.

Ingredient	Amount
5A Premium Matcha	2 teaspoons
Hot water	3 tablespoons
Matcha ice cream or vanilla	3 scoops
Coconut milk	100ml
Honey	1.5 tablespoons

 

6.    Whisk matcha with hot water until smooth.

7.    Blend with coconut milk, ice cream, and honey for 20 seconds.

8.    Pour into a glass and serve immediately before the colour fades.

 

Matcha Banana Milkshake

Add a ripe banana to the classic recipe for extra creaminess and natural sweetness. The banana also adds nutritional value and reduces the need for added sweetener.

*      Add 1 ripe banana to the blender with all other ingredients

*      Reduce honey to half a tablespoon as the banana provides natural sweetness

*      This version is particularly popular with children

 

Frequently Asked Questions:

Which matcha grade should I use for milkshakes?

Our 5A Premium Grade (Tk 699) gives the richest, smoothest flavour in a milkshake. Our 3A Organic Grade (Tk 399) is also excellent and more affordable for everyday treats.

How do I stop my matcha milkshake from being lumpy?

Always whisk the matcha with a small amount of hot water to form a smooth paste before blending. Never add matcha powder directly to cold milk or ice cream as it will not dissolve and you will get green clumps throughout the shake.
