The Strawberry Matcha Latte Dream 🌸🍵

Matcha and strawberries? It's a flavor combo you might not have thought of, but trust us, it's a match made in heaven. This Strawberry Matcha Latte is a delightful twist on the classic matcha latte, with a fruity sweetness that will brighten up your day.

Why Strawberries?

The sweetness of the strawberries balances the earthy notes of the matcha, creating a harmonious and refreshing drink. Plus, the vibrant pink hue of the strawberry মিশ্রণ combined with the green matcha is a feast for the eyes.

Ingredients:

For the Strawberry Puree:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled

  • 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)

  • 2 tablespoons water

For the Matcha Latte:

  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder

  • 1/4 cup hot water

  • 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy)

  • Sweetener of choice (optional)

Let's Get Brewing!

  1. Strawberry Puree: Combine the strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices. Mash the strawberries and simmer for a few more minutes until you have a thick puree. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.

  2. Make the Matcha: Whisk the matcha powder with hot water until it's smooth and frothy.

  3. Assemble Your Masterpiece: Pour the strawberry puree into the bottom of your glass. Add ice cubes, then pour in your milk of choice. Finally, gently pour the prepared matcha over the milk.

  4. Stir and Enjoy! Give it a good stir to combine all the flavors, or enjoy the layers of strawberry, milk, and matcha. Sweeten to taste, if desired.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Fresh is Best: Fresh strawberries will give you the best flavor, but frozen strawberries can also be used.

  • Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of sugar in the strawberry puree to your liking.

  • Milk Alternatives: Feel free to use any milk you prefer. Almond, soy, oat, and coconut milk are all great choices.

  • Matcha Quality: Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and color.

  • Get Creative: Garnish your latte with a few slices of fresh strawberry or a sprinkle of dried strawberry powder for an extra touch of elegance.
