Review
The Iced Nondairy Salted Caramel Cookie Matcha is one of the most unique and indulgent drinks at Starbucks, especially if you’re looking for something creamy and dairy-free. The drink itself has a beautiful green color from the matcha, but what makes it extra special is that hint of golden caramel flavor and a touch of salt that mimics the taste of a sweet and salty cookie. It’s a treat both visually and in taste!
The first sip is a delightful blend of earthy matcha, creamy texture, and that sweet-salty caramel flavor. The caramel doesn’t overpower the matcha; instead, it complements it, adding a warm, dessert-like richness to the drink.
Since it’s made with nondairy milk (usually almond, oat, or coconut based on your choice), it has a lighter feel compared to regular milk, but it’s still super creamy. The salted caramel flavoring adds a touch of indulgence that makes the whole experience feel like a dessert, but without the heaviness.
Compared to other Starbucks iced drinks, this one really stands out for its complexity. The combination of matcha’s natural earthiness with the salted caramel gives it a layered taste that’s sweet, savory, and refreshing all at once.
