This Iced Matcha Pandan latte is a delicious spin on a regular matcha latte. Pandan syrup adds a sweet, tropical vanilla-like flavour to the matcha green tea.
What is matcha?
Matcha is a Japanese green tea that has a vibrant, earthy flavour.
I love using matcha in my baked goods.
What is pandan?
Pandan is also known as screwpine, and is a vibrantly green tropical plant with an aromatic flavouring.
It’s used commonly in Southeast Asian cuisine.
To flavour this matcha latte, I used my homemade Pandan Simple Syrup, which consists of blended pandan leaves in water and sugar.
Ingredients you’ll need
- matcha: use a good quality matcha for the best flavour
- hot water: just enough water to dissolve the matcha powder
- pandan syrup: you can increase or decrease the amount according to your taste
- ice
- almond milk: you can use any milk or non-dairy alternative that you like
How to make it
Make the Iced Matcha Pandan Latte by making a regular matcha latte.
If you normally use a vanilla syrup, you can replace it with the pandan syrup.
Dissolve the matcha powder in some hot water. Use a whisk or electric frother to whisk.
Add pandan syrup, ice and top with milk.
Stick in a straw, give it a stir and enjoy.
FAQ’s
Can I make it without ice?
Yes, you can omit the ice; heat up the milk and make it a hot pandan matcha latte instead.
Where can I find pandan leaves?
You can find pandan leaves in Asian supermarkets, usually in the freezer section.
Can I use pandan extract instead?
Pandan extract is very concentrated — you can use 1 drop in place of the syrup. You may need to add sugar to your liking.

Love all the flavors here, I already know I’m going to enjoy this recipe a lot!
I love matcha! I will be skipping the coffee shop and making mine at home instead!
Very interesting. Sounds healthy and a must try one too. Sounds like a Summer speciality.
I have never made anything with pandan before. Thank you so much for all of the information, I learned a lot and am excited to give it a try.
Ooo I see you’re really enjoying your pandan syrup – another awesome idea! I don’t actually remember when I had a refreshing matcha drink last time, and I think I’ll be trying this soon. Well most likely without any pandan 🙂
I’ve been thinking about that Pandan syrup ever since you shared it earlier this week. I’m sipping on a mug of coffee right now, but I’m wishing it was one of these lattes instead!
What a fun idea! Guess what? We even have pandan flavoring essence. Just a couple of drops is all we will need to make your delicious matcha pandan latte.
Such a nice drink! the flavours are so up in my alley. We use pandan a lot on dishes but seldom on drink, If I can recall we only use it on one type of drink made with caramelized brown sugar, pandan and sago pearls.
Thanks Raymund, oooh yes, we use pandan a lot in desserts, but it was fun adding it into drinks. That drink with the sago pearls sounds delicious!
