Starbucks has changed their menu and fans, myself included, are not happy about the change! They took away the matcha we all love. The new matcha powder is now completely unsweetened, rather than containing sugar as it has in the past, meaning anyone will be able to customize the level of sweetness in the drink. print recipe card below.

My order is: Venti, iced-matcha latte with soy milk. I was told for venti they use 4 pumps of their Classic Syrup. 4 pumps is too sweet. 3 pumps, I tried too damn sweet. It is not the same. and for the record, 4 pumps means 20 grams of sugar (5 grams pure pump)

How much sugar was in Matcha before the change? ready to get 'wow'. The matcha green tea latte served up at your local Starbucks can pack in more sugar than a Snickers bar! Ouch! A 16-ounce Grande Matcha Green Tea Latte from Starbucks packs in 240 calories and a whopping 32 grams of added sugar. The sad part is most people did not know how much sugar was in it already and they added additional sugar. I always thought it was sweetened naturally, never added extra sugar. My recipe is a lot better for you!!!

Avoid the sugar rush with this DIY Matcha Latte, which has only 35 calories and less than 1 gram of sugar.

After knowing how much sugar was in Matcha before the change and now with the new change made me think, I need to make my favorite Matcha Latte on my own! So ready for a simple recipe???

To mix the green tea latte, I like to use my handheld milk frother. It is hands done one of my favorite kitchen tools that cost less than $10. If you don’t have one, mixing with a regular ol’ spoon works great.

I used this Matcha (amazon.com link):
