Iced Yakult Matcha Latte

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to treat yourself, this is it. Say hello to your new go-to iced drink: a Yakult Matcha Latte topped with silky vanilla sweet cream—a.k.a. a probiotic-packed hug in a cup. It's tangy, earthy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. Trust me, you're about to be whisk-ed away.

Whether you're a matcha lover or just curious about probiotic drinks, this easy recipe is a must-try. Let’s get into it!

Iced Yakult Matcha Latte Base

This isn’t your average matcha latte. The secret? Yakult—a tangy-sweet probiotic drink that not only tastes amazing but is also good for your gut. Paired with smooth, high-quality matcha, it creates the dreamiest balance of flavor.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 4g matcha powder (I used Kyo Hayashiya Fuji Matcha—it’s incredibly smooth and vibrant!)

• 50ml water at 175°F (hot, but not boiling—keeps things smooth and never bitter)

• 160ml Yakult (for that refreshing, lightly sweet probiotic punch)

Start by whisking your matcha with warm water in a zig-zag motion until it’s nice and frothy. A matcha whisk (chasen) works best here, but a milk frother will do in a pinch!

Vanilla Cream Top

This fluffy vanilla cream top is where the magic happens. It’s soft, luscious, and adds the perfect touch of sweetness without overpowering the drink.

You’ll need:

• 30ml heavy cream

• ¼ tsp vanilla bean paste (those little specks? Heaven.)

• 2-3g agave syrup (adjust to taste)

Whisk the cream, vanilla, and agave together until the mixture is silky and slightly thickened—think soft peaks, not whipped cream territory.

Latte Assembly Time!

Now comes the fun part. Grab a tall glass and:

1. Add in the ice.

2. Pour in your 160ml Yakult.

3. Slowly add your frothy matcha.

4. Finish with a generous topping of the vanilla sweet cream.

Give it a gentle swirl if you like that marbled look—or keep the layers intact for the aesthetic.

Sip & Glow

That first sip? It’s everything. Creamy, tangy, earthy, and perfectly chilled. Plus, with probiotics from the Yakult and antioxidants from the matcha, your gut and taste buds will be equally thrilled.

This Yakult Matcha Latte is the perfect midday pick-me-up or weekend treat—and once you try it, you’ll want to make it on repeat.

So go ahead, pour, swirl, sip… and let yourself be carried off to cozy, creamy bliss.
