hot matcha latte, iced matcha latte.. but what about match latte popsicles?! with the dog days of summer ahead of us, these popsicles are the best type of "latte" to cool down with! they are also made with coconut milk, making them extra creamy & dairy free. it is very important to use the canned variety of coconut milk, as the texture is much different then boxed coconut milk. to sweeten the popsicles naturally, i pulled from the flavours of a traditional matcha latte & used a quality honey. to get the best matcha flavour, i used aiya's cooking grade matcha powder. it is my go to matcha powder for just about everything that involves matcha. a little goes a long way!
before serving the popsicles, i like to drizzle them in honey & sprinkle them with flaked coconut. they present so pretty! to get the green & white colour tones, i reserve a portion of the liquid without the matcha powder included. i mean how cool do these look? bonus points: no oven required for making popsicles!
