Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Syrup
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1/4 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
Matcha Latte
- 1 tablespoon ceremonial grade matcha
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 3/4 cup milk of choice (cashew milk recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberry Syrup: Add the strawberries and monk fruit sweetener to a blender and blend until smooth. If a blender is not available, mash the strawberries thoroughly until drinkable through a straw.
- Whisk Matcha: Place the matcha powder in a small bowl, add hot water, and whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and free of clumps.
- Assemble the Latte: Spoon the strawberry syrup into the bottom of a glass, then fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Add Milk and Matcha: Pour the milk of choice over the ice, followed by the whisked matcha mixture.
- Finish and Enjoy: Add more ice if desired and stir gently to combine all layers. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing iced strawberry matcha latte.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries for the syrup; adjust sweetness by adding more monk fruit sweetener if needed.
- Ceremonial grade matcha provides the best flavor and texture for lattes.
- For a creamier latte, use milk alternatives like cashew, oat, or almond milk.
- Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) if available to achieve the smoothest matcha consistency.
- Add ice last to prevent dilution of flavors during preparation.
