Matcha cold foam americano recipe

Anthony | May 19, 2025

Everything about matcha drinks is amazing, from the striking green colour, to the distinctive flavour of the vibrant powdered tea leaves. We’ve put together an amazing coffee recipe that’s easy to make in the office and utterly delicious. You just need to grab a couple of bits from the shop, and we also recommend a small eclectic drinks whisk to make the foam. Read the method and watch the video below to make it yourself.

Ingredients:

Matcha powder, vanilla syrup, milk, whipping cream, americano coffee.

Method:

  1. Add a teaspoon of matcha powder to a glass.
  2. Drizzle in vanilla syrup to taste (we use one pump from the bottle).
  3. Quarter fill the glass with milk, and then add the same amount of whipping cream.
  4. Whisk the ingredients together into a foam.
  5. Dispense an americano coffee into a separate mug.
  6. Pour the matcha foam over the top of the coffee so it settles on top.

How do I get the best cold foam?

We’ve gone the manual route with this recipe, and find we get great results using a handheld drinks whisk with a mix of milk and whipping cream. But did you know that your coffee machine might be able to create the foam for you? Have a play with your machine options – it can do more than you think!
