Starbucks Copycat Matcha Espresso Fusion Latte in front of bottles of coffee, matcha, and milk.

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’re going to start noticing very quickly that I am a little obsessed with matcha right now.

Last month, I brought you a simple recipe for a Copycat Starbucks Iced Matcha Latte.

This month, I’m bringing you a copycat recipe for a Starbucks drink that is only available in the Asian market, the Matcha Espresso Fusion.

A Starbucks Matcha Espresso Fusion Drink with distinct layers of matcha, milk, and coffee on a black background.

Layered matcha drinks are all the rage here in LA and on my Instagram feed right now. I’ve fallen in love and have started making my own.

When I saw a photo of Starbuck’s Matcha Espresso Fusion, I knew I had to try it. I was a little intimidated at first, but it is actually super easy to make.

This post contains affiliate links (when you buy we make a little money at no cost to you). See our disclosure for more information.

I like to mix the bottom matcha layer with vanilla bean syrup. You could also use a little bit of sugar or another sweetener instead.

For the middle layer, I generally use coconut milk. However, any milk you’d like to use will work.

The top layer is a shot of espresso. I love using my De’Longhi machine to make espresso because it’s just so easy! My favorite beans to use would be Intelligentsia Black Cat Espresso.

Now you know how to make your own Starbucks Matcha Espresso Fusion at home! Don’t forget to take a photo and put it on the ‘gram. Let those likes pour in! If you do, please tag us and use #cookingwithjanica. We’d love to see it!

Check out the video below to watch me a Matcha Espresso Fusion drink.

    I was just looking at matcha in the store, and thinking I really need to get some! I admit, I was thinking of more traditional uses, but this is intriguing… And layered drinks are so much fun.

    Starbucks is a favorite! I saw a matcha drink on their menu the other day, and almost ordered it. Wish I would have, because if it was this one I totally missed out! This looks really good!

    I haven’t joined the matcha craze yet, but I’m loving the color combination of this drink. I may have to buy some matcha powder and try this one out

    I’ve been in the habit of having an espresso in the mornings and a matcha in the afternoons, but I never thought to combine them! This is definitely happening tomorrow.

    Wow. The balance of the matcha and the espresso is just right! I added a bit more water to the matcha mix to avoid the bitterness. I topped off the drink with vanilla macadamia creamer. Yum! Thank you for sharing.
