MY GO TO STARBUCKS ORDER ✨

Since you loved my go-to Iced Matcha Latte, I wanted to share a few more tips and other amazing matcha drinks you absolutely have to try at Starbucks! Matcha is so versatile, and there are so many ways to enjoy it beyond just the standard latte. First off, if you're feeling adventurous and want to try something a little different from my usual Venti with oat milk, vanilla cold foam, brown sugar, and sugar-free vanilla, let's talk about some fruity matcha combos. I've seen a lot of people asking about raspberry matcha latte and strawberry iced matcha latte. While Starbucks doesn't have a dedicated “raspberry matcha” drink on the menu, you can easily create one! Just ask your barista to add a few pumps of raspberry syrup to your regular iced matcha latte. It adds a delicious tartness that cuts through the earthy matcha flavor beautifully. For a strawberry iced matcha latte, you can ask for strawberry puree or strawberry inclusions (if available) to be blended in or added to the bottom of your drink. It creates a vibrant, refreshing twist, especially perfect for warmer days. I tried a version with strawberry cold foam once, and it was heavenly! Another fun variation I've personally experimented with is adding peppermint! It might sound unusual, but during the holiday season, I sometimes ask for a pump or two of peppermint syrup in my iced matcha. It gives it a cool, refreshing kick that’s surprisingly good. It’s like a mint chocolate chip ice cream, but with matcha! Beyond these custom orders, Starbucks has a few other matcha drinks worth exploring if you're looking for something new. The classic Hot Matcha Latte is perfect for cozy mornings. For something lighter, an Iced Green Tea Latte (which is essentially matcha) can be customized with different milks and sweeteners. If you're into blended drinks, while a true matcha Frappuccino isn't as common, you can ask for a Matcha Crème Frappuccino, which is blended with milk and ice, and you can add espresso shots for a "dirty" version, though that's not typically a matcha purist's choice! When ordering, don't be afraid to experiment with different milk alternatives like almond milk or coconut milk, or even different cold foams. For instance, pairing matcha with a sweet cream cold foam can be a real game-changer. And always remember you can adjust the sweetness level – I often reduce the pumps of syrup to let the matcha shine through, even in my brown sugar and sugar-free vanilla combo. For those of you really deep-diving into Starbucks matcha knowledge, like some discussions I've seen on Reddit, remember that the quality and preparation can sometimes vary slightly by location. So, if you find a barista who makes your matcha just right, stick with them! Sharing your exact order, like "Venti Iced Matcha Latte with oat milk, 2 pumps brown sugar, 1 pump sugar-free vanilla, and vanilla cold foam," ensures consistency. I hope these extra tips help you discover your next favorite Starbucks matcha drink. Let me know what you try!
