A quick and easy recipe for a cooling and refreshing matcha milkshake, perfect for a hot day! Healthy, and can be made vegan!

Could Sydney BE any hotter right now??  Well, yes, it technically could be, but at the moment, wow.  When I step outside, it’s like stepping into my oven.  And that’s a big NOPE!

So I think I’ll just hang out inside and see what kind of refreshing drinks I can whip up…  how about matcha milkshakes!?

These are totally refreshing and cooling AND energizing!  You know how the heat just makes you feel all hot and lazy?  This milkshake will make you feel the complete opposite, which is really helpful, of course.

You’ll only need a handful of ingredients and prep time is super minimal.  Just be sure you’ve got cold milk and ice on hand.

Vegans, never fear!  The recipe I’m posting below uses honey and cow’s milk, but there’s not a problem substituting these ingredients with your own vegan alternatives.  Yay!

You can make these matcha milkshakes a few different ways… 1) in a blender; 2) with a hand/immersion blender; 3) in a coffee press, by plunging the press up and down vigorously; 4) just giving it a really good stir, but this won’t yield the best results.  Use what works best for you, but I always use the immersion blender.

To make this recipe, place honey, matcha (it’s a good idea to sift it in) and warm water in a blender or bowl, depending on which method you decide to use.  Stir briefly to incorporate everything.  Pour in the cold milk and then blend until the matcha has dissolved and the milkshake is a beautiful pastel green.

At this point, you can either store the milkshake in the refrigerator for a couple hours to have for later (just give it a good stir before serving), or drink it immediately – add a handful of ice to a glass and pour over the milkshake, stirring to cool it down.

Drink up, cool down and re-energize!

By the way, this is an excellent and healthy alternative to your afternoon coffee! Hope you enjoy!

Note that in case this recipe looks familiar, I have actually posted it before, however it was in a sort of matcha recipe round-up.  And besides, I took new pictures, and this recipe is good enough for its own post! 🙂
