Why you’ll love this recipe 

Easy to prepare, tasty to drink, and darn good-looking, Starbucks Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha is an excellent alternative to espresso-based iced lattes you need a machine to make. With this recipe, there’s no need to go to the coffee shop and you can make this iced lavender latte anytime you have a craving.

Although not vegan, the drink contains less lactose than regular lattes, making it a suitable option for those who want to reduce their dairy intake. With less caffeine than coffee, you can savor the taste any time of day. 

Ingredients you need 

For the Matcha Oatmilk Base:

• Oatmilk – Provides a creamy, slightly sweet base that complements the earthy matcha
• Light agave nectar – Adds natural sweetness without overpowering delicate flavors
• Matcha green tea powder – Delivers earthy flavor and natural caffeine boost

For the Lavender Cold Foam:

• Full-fat whipping cream – Creates the rich, stable foam structure
• Whole milk – Lightens the foam while maintaining creaminess
• Lavender syrup – Infuses the foam with distinct floral notes
• Purple food coloring – Optional for achieving that signature lavender hue

Inexpensive green tea powder is perfect for this recipe. Don’t use high-quality tea here. 

Use extra creamy oat milk if you can find it at your grocery store.

Use a lavender-flavored syrup that is specifically formulated for coffee drinks, such as those from Monin or Torani.

How to make Starbucks Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha 

To prepare the Matcha Oatmilk Tea:

1. Combine the oatmilk, light agave nectar, and Matcha green tea in a bowl with a spout. 
2. Whisk until frothy. Set aside. 

To prepare the Cold Lavender Foam:

1. Pour the heavy cream, whole milk, lavender syrup, and a few drops of purple food coloring (if using) into a mixing bowl or a tall glass.
2. Use a milk frother to whip into soft peaks. It may take a few minutes. Set to the side. 

To pour a Starbucks Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha:

1. Fill the serving glass three-quarters full of ice. 
2. Pour the liquid matcha oatmilk tea mixture into the glass.
3. Top with the sweet cream lavender cold foam.

What to serve it with 

The unique taste of this tea latte pairs well with mild foods. Here are a few suggestions: 

• Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins. The hint of lemon in these glazed Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins works well with the lavender in the latte, while the texture of the tiny poppy seeds makes it fun to eat. 
• Scones. Plain or vanilla scones are an excellent pairing. Please stay away from scones containing fruits or chocolate chips, as they can clash with the flavor of the drink. 
• Almond biscotti. Lightly flavored and with a good crunch, almond biscotti are a great nibble to have on the side. 

How to store the leftovers 

Keep the Matca Oatmilk Tea and the Lavender Cold Foam in separate airtight containers in the fridge. A mason jar is a great choice for an airtight container. The foam will lose its bubbles over time, so you must froth it again before using it. Try to use up the leftovers within a day or two.

Notes

When selecting matcha powder, avoid premium ceremonial grades. The sweeteners and milk mask the subtle notes of high-end matcha. A mid-grade culinary matcha works perfectly here, saving you money without sacrificing flavor. For the most authentic Starbucks experience, use Torani or Monin lavender syrup, which provides balanced floral notes without soapy undertones.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Matcha not dissolving? Use room temperature oatmilk first, then add ice after mixing.
• Foam disappearing too quickly? Use higher fat content cream and ensure it’s very cold.
• Too sweet? Reduce the syrup by half and add more to taste.
• Flavor too intense? Add a splash of plain oatmilk to dilute.
