Ingredients

Scale

Matcha Mixture

  • 1–2 teaspoons high-quality ceremonial or culinary grade matcha powder
  • 2 ounces hot water (about 175°F / 80°C, not boiling)

Strawberry Puree

  • Fresh ripe strawberries (quantity depends on desired puree, approx. 1/2 cup for one serving)
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener (optional: honey, maple syrup, or agave)

Milk

  • 6–8 ounces milk of choice (dairy or plant-based such as oat, almond, or soy milk)
  • Optional: splash of coconut cream or use whole milk for extra creaminess

Sweetener

  • Honey, maple syrup, or agave, to taste (optional, for additional sweetness)

Garnishes (optional)

  • Fresh strawberry slices
  • Sprinkle of matcha powder
  • Edible flowers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then blend them until smooth. If you prefer a sweeter puree, add a teaspoon of your preferred sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or agave. Set aside for layering.
  2. Whisk the Matcha: Sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl to avoid clumps. Add about 2 ounces of hot water (approximately 175°F or 80°C) and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until the matcha is frothy and smooth.
  3. Heat and Froth the Milk: Warm your chosen milk gently on the stove or in the microwave. Use a frother or whisk to create a light foam, which enhances the texture of your latte.
  4. Assemble Your Latte: Pour the strawberry puree into your glass first. Slowly add the frothed milk on top of the puree. Finally, layer the matcha over the milk or gently swirl it to create a marbled effect.
  5. Sweeten and Serve: Add additional sweetener if desired and stir lightly. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, a sprinkle of matcha powder, or edible flowers for a beautiful finish. Enjoy your Strawberry Matcha Latte immediately.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality matcha powder for a smoother taste and vivid green color.
  • Use water heated to about 175°F (80°C); avoid boiling water to prevent bitterness.
  • Ripe, sweet strawberries greatly enhance the natural flavor and color.
  • Properly froth milk to blend beautifully with the matcha and strawberry layers.
  • Pour ingredients slowly to maintain distinct, visually appealing layers.
