Some drinks don’t just refresh—they transport you. Imagine a cup that’s cool and green like a summer meadow, kissed with the soft whisper of fresh mint and the gentle lift of matcha. Our Matcha Mint Latte with Secret Garden Mint Oatmilk is that cup.
This recipe layers together simple yet indulgent elements: smooth, plant-based oatmilk infused overnight with our Secret Garden Mint tea, a sprinkle of vibrant ceremonial matcha, and your favorite touch of sweetness. By steeping the tea in oatmilk overnight, you create a naturally fragrant base—no syrups or artificial flavors needed. Every sip is a little ritual of self-care, a reminder to pause and savor the season.
One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. Feeling cozy and reflective? Warm it up, take a seat by the window, and enjoy the gentle dance of steam. Craving a sun-soaked afternoon refresher? Pour it over ice and watch the green matcha swirl through the milky, minty layers—it’s part drink, part art piece.
This latte brings together the best of calm and clarity: the soothing coolness of mint and the gentle, focused energy of matcha. It’s perfect for those in-between summer moments where you want something light but luxurious, grounding but energizing.

For hot: Warm the infused oatmilk gently on the stove or in the microwave. Froth if desired, then pour over the matcha.
