This energizing beverage is perfect as a unique treat or morning pick-me-up, blending fruity sweetness with rich creaminess for a delightful experience.

Ingredients

Matcha Base

  • 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 2 oz hot water (around 175°F/80°C)
  • 1 teaspoon liquid sweetener (e.g., agave nectar)

Strawberry Puree

  • 2-3 medium fresh strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener

Milk Layer

  • 5 oz milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Ice cubes (amount as desired)

Whipped Topping

  • 2 oz heavy cream
  • 1 oz milk
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberry puree: Wash and hull 2-3 medium fresh strawberries. Place them in a blender with 1 teaspoon of sweetener and blend until completely smooth. If preferred, strain the puree to remove seeds for a smoother texture.
  2. Whisk the matcha base: In a small bowl, sift 1 teaspoon of ceremonial grade matcha powder to avoid lumps. Add 2 oz of hot water heated to approximately 175°F (80°C). Whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk until the mixture becomes frothy and smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon of liquid sweetener until fully dissolved.
  3. Assemble the latte base: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared strawberry puree into the bottom of the glass over the ice. Pour 5 oz of milk (dairy or plant-based) over the puree and ice, creating a layered base.
  4. Create the whipped topping: In a clean bowl, combine 2 oz of heavy cream, 1 oz of milk, and 1 teaspoon of sweetener. Using an electric mixer or whisk, whip the mixture until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy topping.
  5. Finish and serve: Gently pour the frothed matcha mixture over the milk and strawberry layer in the glass. Top with a generous dollop of the whipped cream. For an extra touch, drizzle additional strawberry puree on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and contrasting textures.

Notes

  • Use ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste; liquid sweetener is preferred for easy mixing in matcha.
  • Strain strawberry puree to avoid seeds if preferred.
  • This latte can be made with any milk of choice including almond, oat, or cow’s milk.
  • Serve immediately as the layers and froth are best enjoyed fresh.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for whipping.
