Strawberry Matcha Latte

Make strawberry puree

1. You can use a fork, a potato masher or even a blender/ food processor (makes sense if you're doing a large batch.)Note: you can blend the berries finely into a smooth puree but I prefer a more chunky texture in mine so I leave bits of fruit in. (You'll need a spoon or thick straw to eat them!)
2. Scoop the mashed strawberries into a cup.

Make Matcha Tea

1. For 2 layers (green and pink)/ Easy way: For 2 layers, we combine the matcha and milk directly. If you don't have a matcha whisk, you can shake the matcha powder with the milk in an airtight container.Alternatively, use a milk frother.
2. For 3 layers (green, pink, white)/ Traditional way: For 3 layers, we combine the matcha with water and add the milk toe the strawberries separately.Whisk the matcha and hot water in a small bowl. (Or use a frother.)Note: Do not use boiling water or the matcha tea will be bitter.

ASSEMBLE THE DRINK

1. For 2 layers: Pour or scoop the matcha milk over the pureed strawberries till the cup is filled.
2. For 3 layers: Pour milk or heavy cream on top of the strawberries, followed by the matcha. (Pour the matcha over a the back of a spoon for more distinct pretty layers.)Optional: garnish with freeze dried strawberry bits on top.Tip: use a tall glass if you want to see distinct layers.
