🥛 The Best Non-Dairy Milks for Matcha Lattes
A creamy matcha latte doesn’t have to rely on dairy. In fact, many non-dairy milks pair beautifully with matcha—enhancing its natural umami, smoothing out the earthy tones, and letting that signature green glow shine.
Whether you're vegan, lactose-intolerant, or just prefer plant-based options, here’s our guide to the which milk goes best with matcha lattes for you.
🥥 1. Coconut Milk
Best for: A naturally sweet, tropical twist
Coconut milk brings out matcha’s sweeter notes with its subtle, creamy flavour. Go for a light coconut milk to avoid overpowering the matcha.
🌰 2. Almond Milk
Best for: A nutty, light-bodied latte
Almond milk has a thinner consistency but toasts well with matcha’s earthiness. Choose unsweetened varieties to let the matcha shine.
🫘 3. Soy Milk
Best for: Rich texture and added protein
Soy milk offers a creaminess that rivals dairy. It also froths well, making it ideal for latte art or café-style matcha drinks.
🌾 4. Oat Milk
Best for: Balanced flavour and frothiness
A matcha favourite. Oat milk adds subtle sweetness, great froth, and a velvety texture. It’s also a sustainable, allergen-friendly choice.
🌰 5. Macadamia Milk
Best for: Creamy, luxe matcha lattes
Australia’s homegrown hero. Macadamia milk is rich, smooth, and slightly buttery—an elegant pairing with high-quality ceremonial matcha.
There is no best milk—only the right one for you.
