Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte Recipe

Not only is this drink visually stunning, but it’s also my favorite version of a matcha latte because it’s sweetened with fresh strawberry puree.

I started seeing layered matcha drinks on Instagram a few years ago and thought they were so beautiful. I immediately wanted to try my hand at it.

I assumed the layering would be difficult, but I was relieved to find out it’s rather simple!

Layered drinks like this rely on the different density of each layer to stay separated. You do have to slowly pour each layer over ice to make it clean and pretty, but it is very easy to do.

Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte Ingredients:

• Strawberries
• Sugar
• Water
• Matcha
• Milk

The strawberry layer can be easily made on the stovetop. I like to keep some in my fridge at all times so that I can quickly put this latte together when I want one.

I just use fresh sliced strawberries, sugar, and a little water. Add them all to a saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes, then voila! You have your delicious strawberry puree.

I generally usually whole milk in this recipe, but you can easily substitute oat, almond, soy, or whatever other “milk” you please.

The easiest way to prepare the matcha is to add it and water to a mason jar, then seal with the lid and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes.

Add the strawberry puree to the bottom of your glass. Add ice until the bottom two-thirds of the glass is full. Slowly pour the milk over the ice. Carefully add more ice until it reaches almost the top of your glass.
