    Strawberry matcha has a perfect balance of sweet strawberries, creamy milk, and the unique earthy taste of matcha. Such a refreshing drink to sip on a hot day. 

    And on a colder day, try our hot matcha latte. 

    Before you stir it with a straw, the drink will have two distinct layers - bright green matcha tea and pink strawberry milk. It looks absolutely beautiful, that's why you should make it in clear-toll glass.

    Ingredients

    • Matcha green tea powder - I used culinary grade. There is culinary grade and ceremonial grade matcha. Culinary-grade matcha is great for lattes, while ceremonial matcha is used to make traditional tea without any milk or sweeteners. 
    • Hot water - you will need hot boiling water to make matcha.
    • Strawberries - you can use fresh or frozen strawberries. 
    • Milk - use any milk of your choice. You can use oat milk, coconut milk, or dairy milk. Today, I used sweetened almond milk. If you are using unsweetened milk, add some sugar by taste. 
    • Ice cubes - to make the drink iced cold. 

    Equipment 

    • Matcha whisk (chasen) - it is a special bamboo whisk used to make matcha. Its specially designed thin tines, help to whisk and aerate matcha powder creating a smooth and velvety texture. If you do not have one, you can use a regular whisk or electric frother. 
    • Matcha bowl (chawan) - If you do not have one, whisk it in a wide cup or a small bowl.
    • Bamboo scoop (chashaku) - mine came in a set with the chasen. You can also use a measuring teaspoon.
    • Blender - for blending strawberries and milk. I do not recommend chopping them as they will clog the straw when you drink it. If you do not have a blender, puree strawberries with a fork and strain it with a mesh strainer to ensure there are no large chunks of fruit. 
    • Strainer: you will need to strain the blended milk and strawberries.
    • Tall glass and a straw - I think that iced matcha or coffee tastes much better from a tall glass and a straw. You can also serve it in a mason jar.

    Below, you can find the step-by-step directions with process images for better visualization. You can find the printable card at the end if the post.

    Brew matcha tea. Using chashaku, measure 1-2 scoops of matcha (or ½-1 of a teaspoon) and add it to the bowl (or a wide cup). You can make it more stronger, by adding more matcha powder. If it is your first time trying matcha, add only one scoop. 

    Green matcha powder in a white bowl with a bamboo measuring stick in it.

    Boil the water and let it cool down just for a few minutes. The water for matcha should be about 175°F (80°C). Pour about 2 ounces of water over the matcha powder. 

    Now, grab the chasen and whisk matcha tea briskly until the consistency is smooth and frothy. Set it aside for now. 

    Matcha powder and hot water mixed with a bamboo whisk in a white bowl.

    Blend the milk and strawberries. In a blender, add one cup of milk and a few strawberries. Do not forget to rinse them well before blending.

    Note: If you are using unsweetened milk, add about one teaspoon of maple syrup, honey, or other sweetener.

    Blend on high until the strawberries are well blended. The milk will become dreamy pink. I recommend tasting it and adding more sweetener if needed.

    Some strawberries are quite sour and the drink may need more sugar or syrup.

    After that, you will need to strain the strawberry milk.

    Assemble the drink. In a tall clear glass, add 4-5 cubes of ice. Pour prepared matcha over the ice. And at last, slowly pour the milk blended with strawberries.

    You will have beautiful layers of green matcha and pink milk. Now, you can stir it with a straw to experience the duo of both flavors at the same time.

    Recipe shortcut: you can use store-bought strawberry milk instead of blending fresh strawberries to make this drink (not as healthy and fresh, but saves time). 

    Recipe tips

    • Let the boiling water cool down for a few minutes before mixing it with the matcha powder. Boiling water may make matcha too bitter. It needs to be no more than 175°F.
    • Use fresh strawberries (avoid jams or syrups). You can also use frozen strawberries when the fresh ones are not in season.
    • Using a mesh strainer to get rid of larger chunks of fruit after blending.
    • When you blend the milk with strawberries, taste it and add more sweetener to your taste. 

    Frequently asked questions 

    Can I make a strawberry matcha latte ahead of time?

    For best results, I recommend preparing matcha drinks fresh and enjoying them right away. It takes only a few minutes if you already have the ingredients on hand.

    Can I use another type of milk?

    Yes, you can use any milk to make this latte. My favorite ones are almond, oat, or coconut plant-based drink. You can also make it dairy milk.

    Can I use other fruits instead of strawberries?

    Sure, instead of strawberries, try using blueberries or blackberries.
