Ingredients

Scale

For the Matcha Base:

  • 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 2 ounces hot water (just under boiling)
  • 1 teaspoon liquid sweetener (agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup)
  • 5 ounces milk (oat milk recommended, but any dairy or plant-based milk works)
  • Ice cubes (fresh, clear ice for optimal presentation)

For the Strawberry Sweet Cream:

  • 2–3 medium fresh strawberries (or frozen)
  • 2 ounces heavy cream
  • 1 ounce milk
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Matcha Base: Sift matcha powder into a small bowl to prevent clumping. Add hot water and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or frother in a ‘W’ or ‘M’ motion for 30 seconds. Stir in liquid sweetener until fully dissolved.
  2. Prepare Your Serving Glass: Fill a glass ¾ full with ice and pour in cold milk. Chill the glass beforehand for an extra-cold drink.
  3. Combine Matcha and Milk: Pour the matcha mixture over the milk and ice. Stir gently to combine while maintaining the green hue.
  4. Create the Strawberry Cream: In a blender, combine strawberries, heavy cream, milk, and sweetener. Blend for 5-10 seconds until smooth but thick.
  5. Layer the Strawberry Cream: Using the back of a spoon, slowly pour the strawberry cream over the matcha layer to create a distinct gradient effect.
  6. Final Touches: Garnish with a strawberry slice on the rim and a light dusting of matcha powder on top for a professional finish.

Notes

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Strawberry Matcha Latte:

  • Use Ceremonial Grade Matcha: It dissolves smoothly and offers a less bitter taste than culinary grade.
  • Blend Quickly: Over-blending the strawberry cream will thin its texture—pulse just enough for a creamy consistency.
  • Chill Ingredients: Keep milk, cream, and even your serving glass cold for the best results.
  • Customize Sweetness: Adjust sweetener based on the natural sweetness of your strawberries.
  • Pour Slowly: For the most dramatic layers, pour the strawberry cream gently over the back of a spoon.
