Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount
Fresh strawberries, chopped	1/2 cup (75 g)
Honey or sugar	1–2 tbsp
Milk of choice (dairy or oat)	1 cup (240 ml)
Heavy cream or whipped topping (for cold foam)	1/4 cup (60 ml)
Matcha powder (ceremonial grade preferred)	1–1½ tsp
Hot water (not boiling)	1/4 cup (60 ml)
Ice cubes	1 cup

Choosing the Best Ingredients

Matcha: Use high-quality, vibrant green ceremonial matcha for the smoothest flavor and brightest color. Culinary matcha works too, but it’s a bit more bitter.

Strawberries: Fresh is ideal for a natural sweet foam; frozen works if thawed slightly. Mash them to release their juices.

Milk: Whole milk gives a rich texture, oat milk adds creaminess, and almond milk keeps it light. All blend beautifully with matcha.

Sweetener: Honey balances the grassy notes of matcha; sugar keeps the foam pale pink.

Pro Tips & Swaps

• 🥛 Dairy-Free: Use coconut cream for the foam and almond milk for the base.
• 🍓 Low-Sugar: Replace honey with stevia or monk fruit syrup.
• 🌿 Extra Creamy: Add 1 tbsp condensed milk to your strawberry foam layer.
• ☕ Matcha Iced Coffee Twist: Mix a shot of espresso into your matcha layer for an earthy-latte hybrid.

How to Make Strawberry Matcha Latte

1. Prepare the strawberry foam: Blend strawberries, 1 tbsp honey, and cream (or milk frother) until thick and fluffy. Set aside.
2. Whisk the matcha: In a small bowl, whisk matcha with hot water until smooth and frothy. Avoid clumps by using a bamboo whisk or small hand frother.
3. Assemble the latte: Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in milk first, then slowly add the whisked matcha on top for a layered effect.
4. Top with strawberry foam: Spoon or pour the pink foam gently on top. Watch the layers meet — it’s mesmerizing!
5. Optional garnish: Add sliced strawberries or a dusting of matcha powder before serving.

Pro Tips for Perfect Texture

• ✨ Use cold milk and pre-chilled glass for clean layers.
• ✨ Whisk matcha with water under 175°F (80°C) — too hot makes it bitter.
• ✨ Don’t overblend the foam; it should float softly, not stiffen.

Variations

• 🔥 Extra Spicy: Add a tiny pinch of ginger powder to your matcha for warmth.
• 🍦 Vanilla Cloud: Whip foam with a splash of vanilla extract for a dessert-like aroma.
• 💪 Protein Boost: Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein to the milk before shaking.
• 🍓 Double Strawberry: Blend ¼ cup strawberry puree directly into the milk base.

Serve with a snack like Texas Roadhouse Rolls or a cozy dessert like Fried Apple Hand Pies.
