Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte
Serves 1
This iced strawberry matcha latte is fruity and refreshing—perfect for a hot summer day! I list a range for the matcha measurement in this recipe. Use the lesser amount if you're new to matcha. If you'd like the latte to have a stronger matcha flavor, use more.
Ingredients
- 5 fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped (about ⅓ cup)
- 1 teaspoon cane sugar
- ½ to 1 teaspoon matcha powder, ½ to 1 teaspoon matcha powder, (we used Matcha.com's Ceremonial Organic in this recipe)
- ¼ cup cold water
- Ice
- ½ to 1 cup almond milk
- Maple syrup or honey, to taste, optional
Instructions
- Place the strawberries and sugar in a small bowl. Use a fork to combine, lightly mashing the strawberries as you mix. Set aside.
- Sift the matcha powder into another small bowl to remove any lumps. Add the water and use a matcha whisk to whisk briskly from side to side until the matcha is fully dispersed and a foamy layer forms on top.
- Place the strawberries at the bottom of a tall glass. Fill halfway with ice, then pour in enough almond milk to fill the glass two thirds of the way full. Top with the matcha mixture.
- Stir to combine and taste with a straw. If desired, sweeten with maple syrup or honey to taste.
