I found that the recipe calls for too many ice cubes — I suggest to others to add them to the blender one at a time to ensure you don't get an unblendable mush like I did.

This is a very awesome recipe! Thanks for posting. I like my latte a bit milkier so I made this with 1 oz water, 5 oz 2% milk. I also used 2 tsp of sugar and one pump melon syrup. Lots of ice. Much better green tea quality and cheaper than getting it at the store plus I can control the amount of sugar and I think the overall volume is just right.

WOW - on a whim I bought this matcha green tea powder on our favorite auction web sight and when it came I was so glad I did. This drink is amazing - so refreshing. I prefer the Iced Latte to the Smoothie. I leave out the sugar and use one Tablespoon of the vanilla syrup. Try it - you won't be disappointed - and all the health benefits! Where can I get more recipes? Thanks.

Great recipe. I have a few changes that I do for a smoothie type...use fat free soy or milk based frozen yogurt. It gives it a nice creamy effect. You will then not need the sugar. I usually just eyeball the tea powder (also from online auction), add the yogurt, ice cubes, and a splash of vanilla (not syrup)...just a little bit of a change. Great healthy desert.
