Ingredients
- 3oz fresh strawberries
- 1.5 tsp sugar
- 3g matcha powder
- 36g hot water (170°F / 77°C)
- 85g whole milk
- Agave syrup, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the matcha: Whisk matcha powder with water until smooth and frothy.
- Muddle the strawberries: In a jar or bowl, mash the strawberries with sugar until slightly saucy.
- Assemble the base: Add the strawberry mixture to your serving cup and fill with ice.
- Layer the milk: Pour milk and drizzle agave on top to create a layered effect over the strawberries.
- Add the matcha: Gently pour the whisked matcha over a spoon on top of the milk to complete your strawberry matcha latte.
Why use a spoon when pouring matcha over milk:
Pouring the whisked matcha over a spoon (rather than directly into the cup) slows down the liquid and softens the impact on the milk layer. This helps create a beautiful, layered effect instead of the matcha sinking or mixing too quickly. It’s a simple trick to make your latte look more aesthetic and professional.
And there you have it—a simple, refreshing strawberry matcha latte you can enjoy anytime at home. Whether you’re recreating a favorite café drink or trying matcha for the first time, this layered, creamy treat is sure to brighten your day. Don’t forget to experiment with sweetness, milk choices, and presentation to make it your own. Sip, savor, and share the matcha love!
