Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled (or thawed frozen strawberries)
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar (or honey/maple syrup, to taste)
- 1–2 teaspoons matcha powder (ceremonial or latte grade preferred)
- 2–3 tablespoons hot water (just below simmering)
- 3/4 cup cold milk (whole, oat, almond, soy, or coconut)
- Ice cubes
- A few drops vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and hull the strawberries. Blend with sugar (or honey/maple syrup) until smooth. Strain for a silky puree if desired. Taste and adjust sweetness.
- Sift matcha powder into a bowl. Add hot water (not boiling) and whisk until frothy and smooth, with no lumps.
- Fill a tall glass halfway with ice. Spoon in 2–3 tablespoons of strawberry puree.
- Pour in cold milk (add vanilla extract to milk if using).
- Slowly pour the matcha mixture over the milk, using the back of a spoon for layered effect.
- Leave layered or stir gently to mix flavors. Serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
For best layers, use cold milk and pour matcha slowly. Strawberry puree can be made ahead and refrigerated. Adjust sweetness based on berry ripeness. Use plant-based milk for vegan/dairy-free option. Sift matcha to avoid clumps.
