If you love matcha or enjoy unique twists on traditional flavors, this Chebakia Matcha Latte is a must-try. In Morocco, Chebakia is especially popular during Ramadan, and this recipe takes that beloved sweet honey, sesame, and warm spices. And blends it with creamy matcha for a fresh, modern twist.
The gentle sweetness of Chebakia complements the earthy flavor of matcha, making every sip smooth and comforting. It’s perfect for Ramadan evenings or as a refreshing treat during the summer months
Inspired by the Chebakia Iced Latte on my blog, thus drink pairs beautifully with Olive Oil & Lemon Cheesecake. I love how simple iced lattes are, yet they can take on so many variations. This Chebakia version is definitely one of my favorites.
