Easy 5-min. Strawberry Matcha Latte
Description
The Easy 5-min. Strawberry Matcha Latte starts with pureed fresh strawberries mixed with granulated sugar to release their juice and sweetness. The berries are then combined with ice and milk to create a fruity, cool base. Separately, matcha powder is sifted and whisked vigorously with hot water to form a smooth, frothy green tea concentrate.
Pouring the frothy matcha over the milk and strawberry mixture adds a slightly bitter, earthy contrast to the sweet and creamy components, resulting in a visually appealing layered drink with a balance of flavors and temperatures. The ice keeps the beverage refreshing and chilled.
This recipe requires minimal equipment, and can be adapted by finely chopping or blending strawberries if a muddler is unavailable. The drink is intended to be enjoyed cold and fresh.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk or plant-based milk
- 4 medium strawberries with stems removed
- 2.5 tablespoon granulated sugar or sub with honey or maple syrup, white
- 1.5 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 4 tablespoon water boiling hot
- 8 ice cubes optional
Instructions
- In a tall glass, add strawberries and white granulated sugar and crush them with a muddler until they’re pureed. If you don’t have a muddler, finely chop or purée the strawberries in a blender and mix them in the glass with the sugar.
- Then add ice cubes on top of the puréed strawberries.
- Pour milk over the ice and set aside.
- Then sift matcha powder into a small bowl. Add hot boiling water to the matcha and whisk until frothy for 30 seconds.
- Pour the matcha liquid over the milk. Stir to enjoy!
