How many pumps of syrup go into a (V Iced) Matcha?

For a Venti Iced Matcha, the standard preparation calls for four pumps of syrup. This is aligned with Starbucks' standardized recipes designed to maintain consistent flavor profiles across all beverages. The Venti size, which typically holds 24 ounces, requires a more pronounced flavor to balance the iced drink, hence the additional pumps compared to smaller sizes.

While the other choices suggest fewer or greater amounts of syrup, they do not follow the established guidelines for creating a well-rounded flavor experience in a Venti Iced Matcha. Using two pumps would result in a drink that is too mild, while six or eight pumps would overpower the matcha flavor and could lead to an unbalanced taste profile. Therefore, four pumps strike the right balance to ensure that the sweetness complements the earthy notes of the matcha, providing an enjoyable beverage experience.
