Description

A refreshing and visually stunning Strawberry Matcha Latte featuring a sweet strawberry syrup, light whipped strawberry cream, and smooth matcha for a delightful iced beverage perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Strawberry Syrup

  • 5 strawberries, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water

Strawberry Whipped Foam

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Strawberry syrup (from above)

Matcha Latte

  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Milk of choice (about 1 cup)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Make the Strawberry Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and water. Cook the mixture until the strawberries soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, collecting the syrup and discarding the solids. Allow the syrup to cool completely.
  2. Create the Strawberry Whipped Foam: Pour the heavy cream into a small bowl and add a few tablespoons of the cooled strawberry syrup. Whip the mixture using a hand mixer or whisk until it becomes light, fluffy, and soft, about 30 seconds. Aim for a pourable whipped cream texture to easily top the drink.
  3. Prepare the Matcha: Place matcha powder into a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of hot water. Whisk briskly until the matcha is fully dissolved and smooth with no lumps. Stir in the honey until fully incorporated, adjusting sweetness to taste.
  4. Assemble the Iced Matcha Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes to chill. Pour in your desired milk (dairy or plant-based) up to three-quarters full. Add the prepared matcha mixture and gently stir. Finally, spoon the strawberry whipped foam on top of the latte, creating a layered, vibrant look.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor in the syrup.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the syrup and honey according to your preference.
  • The whipped cream should be soft and pourable, not stiff, to blend nicely with the latte.
  • This drink can be served iced or enjoyed warm by skipping the ice and warming the milk.
  • Matcha quality affects flavor; use ceremonial grade for the best taste.
