If you're a big fan of matcha flavor or a unique taste in green tea, this Chebakia Matcha Latte is a perfect sweet treat to try. We all know that Chebakia is popular in Morocco, especially this month of Ramadan. This recipe is inspired by this sweet Chebakia that has honey, sesame, and warm spices with creamy matcha to have a different flavor and taste.
The sweetness of Chebakia pairs and balances with the flavor of matcha, and every sip makes you enjoy. Perfect for enjoying during the month of Ramadan and when the summer season comes.
This was inspired by Chebakia Iced Latte on my blog, and pairs well with this Olive Oil & Lemon Cheesecake. Iced lattes are such an easy drink that can have many variations, and this Chebakia one is definitely one of my favorites.

Hint: For the best flavor, whisk the matcha with a small amount of warm water before adding milk. This hint helps to prevent the clumps of matcha and have a smooth and perfect latte.
