2TeaspoonsMatcha Powderceremonial grade
¼Cup Hot Water
1TablespoonMaple Syrupor honey
1Cup Coconut Milk
½ Cup Strawberriesfresh or frozen
Instructions
Start by preparing your matcha. In a small bowl, sift 2 teaspoons of ceremonial grade matcha powder to eliminate any clumps and ensure a smooth blend. Pour in ¼ cup of hot water—ideally just under boiling, around 175°F—and whisk vigorously using a fork, bamboo whisk, or handheld frother. The goal is to create a frothy, vibrant green matcha with no lumps.
Next, move on to your strawberry syrup. In another small bowl, add ½ cup of strawberries—fresh or thawed frozen both work great here. Mash the strawberries into a juicy puree using a fork or muddler. Once mashed, stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or honey to sweeten the mixture naturally. The result should be a slightly thick, fruity syrup that smells as good as it tastes.
In a glass or small pitcher, combine your strawberry syrup and 1 cup of coconut milk (or your favorite dairy-free milk like oat or almond). Stir until the mixture is fully blended and that pretty pastel pink color comes through. This adds a creamy, fruity foundation to your latte.
To finish, pour the whisked matcha gently over the sweet strawberry milk, stir, and enjoy!
