A refreshing and comforting homemade strawberry matcha latte that blends the rich antioxidants of matcha with the natural sweetness of fresh strawberries. Perfect for beginners and ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (preferably ceremonial grade)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (oat, almond, soy, or dairy milk)
  • 12 teaspoons honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons (about 1 fl oz) hot water (just under boiling)
  • ยผ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 46 ice cubes (if serving iced)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull 1 cup (about 5.3 oz) of fresh strawberries. Chop roughly and blend until smooth, about 20-30 seconds. Alternatively, mash with a fork for chunkier texture. Set aside.
  2. Sift 1 teaspoon (about 2 grams) of matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps. Add 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz) of hot water (around 175ยฐF or 80ยฐC) and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until frothy and smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. Warm 1 cup (8 fl oz) of your chosen milk on the stove or microwave until steaming but not boiling (about 150ยฐF or 65ยฐC). Skip this step if serving iced.
  4. In a serving glass or mug, stir the strawberry puree and sweetener (1-2 teaspoons) together until well mixed. Pour in the whisked matcha, then slowly add the warm milk, stirring gently to combine.
  5. If using, stir in ยผ teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  6. Serve immediately for a hot latte. For iced, add 4-6 ice cubes and stir before drinking. Adjust sweetness to taste.

Notes

Sift matcha powder before whisking to avoid clumps. Use water just under boiling (around 175ยฐF) to prevent bitterness. Warm plant milks gently to avoid curdling. For a chunkier texture, mash strawberries by hand instead of blending. Adjust sweetener to taste or omit for lower sugar. Use frozen strawberries thawed and drained if fresh are unavailable.
