  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (high-quality, finely ground)
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries (washed and hulled)
  • ¾ cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • Optional sweetener: honey, maple syrup, or agave (to taste)
  • Optional ice cubes (for iced version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Wash and hull ½ cup of fresh strawberries. Blend them into a smooth puree using a food processor or blender, creating the sweet and fresh base of your latte.
  2. Whisk the Matcha: Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl to prevent clumps. Whisk with 2 ounces of hot water (around 175°F, not boiling) using a bamboo whisk or a small electric frother until smooth and frothy.
  3. Heat or Chill the Milk: Warm ¾ cup of your chosen milk on the stove or microwave for a hot latte, or keep it chilled with ice cubes for a cold version.
  4. Combine All Ingredients: Pour the strawberry puree into your glass, add the whisked matcha tea, then top with the milk. Stir gently to blend while maintaining some visual swirls of pink and green.
  5. Sweeten it to Taste: Add your preferred sweetener gradually, stirring and tasting until the latte reaches your desired sweetness.

Notes

  • Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Keep water temperature around 175°F to avoid bitterness in matcha.
  • Ripe, juicy strawberries enhance both flavor and color.
  • Whisk matcha in a zigzag motion using a bamboo whisk for smooth consistency without lumps.
  • Adjust sweetness last to ensure it complements, not overpowers, the natural flavors.
