Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or substitute honey, maple syrup or stevia
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder ceremonial grade for the best flavor
  • ¼ cup hot water about 175°F/80°C, not boiling
  • ¾ cup milk of choice oat, almond, dairy, coconut — your favorite
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Create the Strawberry Purée:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 3–5 minutes. The strawberries will soften and break down into a thick, sweet purée. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. For a super-smooth strawberry matcha recipe, you can blend the purée or strain it to remove seeds.

Prepare the Matcha:

  • Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps. Pour in the hot (not boiling) water. Whisk briskly using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a handheld milk frother until fully dissolved and slightly frothy. This step makes a huge difference in the smoothness of your strawberry matcha recipe!

Build Your Latte:

  • Spoon the cooled strawberry purée into the bottom of a tall glass.
  • Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes.
  • Slowly pour the milk over the ice, creating a beautiful separation between the pink strawberry layer and white milk.
  • Gently pour the matcha over the top to create vibrant green layers.

Enjoy:

  • Give it a gentle stir before sipping so all the delicious flavors blend together. Sit back, relax, and savor every refreshing sip of your homemade Strawberry Matcha Latte.

Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Strawberry Matcha Recipe

  • Use Fresh, Ripe Strawberries: Sweet, juicy berries make the flavor pop.
  • Sift Your Matcha: Always sift to avoid bitter clumps in your drink.
  • Whisk Thoroughly: A well-whisked matcha is key for a smooth, velvety latte.
  • Don’t Boil Your Water: Matcha burns at high temperatures, making it taste bitter. Keep your water around 175°F/80°C.
  • Customize Your Milk: Use creamy oat milk for a rich texture, almond milk for a light taste, or traditional dairy milk for classic richness.
Following these small tips will guarantee the most delicious strawberry matcha recipe every single time.
