Ingredients
  

Strawberry Sauce
  • 5 Strawberries (fresh or thawed) Fresh strawberries are ideal, but thawed frozen strawberries work too.
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar Adjust based on sweetness preference; honey or maple syrup can be used as alternatives.
Latte Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon Matcha Powder Use high-quality, finely sifted matcha for the best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Water (room temperature) Room temperature water helps in mixing the matcha.
  • 2/3 cup Almond Milk Can substitute with coconut, oat, or dairy milk depending on preference.
  • Ice as needed Ice Add based on your chill preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small container, add the strawberries and granulated sugar. Muddle gently until juicy and the sugar is dissolved (about 1-2 minutes). Set aside.
Mixing Matcha
  1. Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl. Pour in the room temperature water and whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and foamy.
Assembly
  1. In a tall glass, add the prepared strawberry sauce at the bottom. Fill halfway with ice cubes. Pour in the almond milk, leaving space for the matcha.
  2. Pour the whisked matcha over the milk and ice, creating a layered effect. Stir gently if desired.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for a day. The strawberry sauce can be made ahead and stored for up to 3 days. Adjust sweetness as preferred.
