Ingredients
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 2 oz hot water (175°F)
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water (for syrup)
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup blueberries, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water.

Let syrup cool.

- Step 3: Fill a tall glass with 1 cup ice cubes and pour 1 cup milk over the ice.
- Step 4: Add 3 tbsp of the cooled blueberry syrup to the milk and gently stir to combine.
- Step 5: Slowly pour the prepared matcha over the blueberry milk to create a layered effect, and stir before drinking to enjoy a chilled, vibrant beverage inspired by Frozen.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Frozen-Themed Iced Blueberry Matcha Latte take to make?
Total time is about 15 minutes (10 min prep + 5 min cook). Most home bartenders find this fits a single afternoon; scale up the batch for parties or pitchers.
How do I store leftover Frozen-Themed Iced Blueberry Matcha Latte?
Refrigerate any leftover frozen-themed iced blueberry matcha latte in a sealed pitcher or jar for up to 3–4 days. Do not reheat — drinks are served chilled. If the recipe uses sparkling water or fresh herbs, hold those back and add fresh just before pouring so the drink stays bright and fizzy.
Can I substitute ingredients in Frozen-Themed Iced Blueberry Matcha Latte?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
How do I scale Frozen-Themed Iced Blueberry Matcha Latte for a different number of people?
The recipe is written for 1 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 1). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
