Strawberry Matcha Latte
A delightful blend of fresh strawberries and matcha, this latte offers a refreshing taste of spring, balancing fruity sweetness with earthy depth.
Ingredients
For the Latte
- 1 cup fresh strawberries Use ripe, fragrant strawberries for the best flavor.
- 1 cup almond milk (or other dairy-free milk) Feel free to substitute oat milk, whole milk, or any milk you prefer.
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder Ceremonial-grade matcha will be smoother and more vibrant; culinary-grade works fine for lattes.
- 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, agave, or sugar) Start with 1 tablespoon and taste before adding more.
- as needed Ice Use enough ice to chill the drink thoroughly.
Instructions
Preparation
- Blend fresh strawberries until smooth. Hull and roughly chop the strawberries, then pulse in a blender until you have a bright red puree. If you prefer a seed-free texture, press the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, matcha powder, and sweetener until well combined. Whisk briskly in a circular motion until the powder is fully dissolved.
- Fill a glass with ice and pour in the strawberry puree, leaving a little space on top for the matcha milk.
- Slowly add the matcha milk mixture over the strawberries to create a layered look.
- Stir gently and enjoy your refreshing strawberry matcha latte!
Notes
For a warmer version, skip the ice and use warmed strawberry puree and warmed matcha milk. Add garnishes like a sprig of mint or a thin slice of strawberry for decoration. Store unused strawberry puree in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
