Ingredients

Matcha Latte

  • 1 rounded teaspoon matcha powder ceremonial grade
  • ⅓ cup hot water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar optional
  • ¼ cup cold milk

Strawberry Cold Foam

  • ¼ cup strawberry syrup OR 4-5 ripe strawberries puréed
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ milk
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener or as needed
  • Sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  • Using the milk frother, whisk together a scoop of matcha powder and hot water until well combined and the powder is completely dissolved. If using sugar, whisk in. Add milk and blend. Set aside.
  • Use the milk frother again to whip up the strawberry syrup/puree with the heavy cream, milk, and sugar until it becomes thickened and pink.
  • Add ice to a glass and garnish the glass with slices of strawberries for a pretty presentation. Pour the pink sweet cream into the glass, and then carefully pour the green tea latte over the pink layer. If you want to create distinct layers, pour the matcha layer over the back of a spoon over the strawberry layer.
  • Garnish with strawberries and serve up nice and cold.

Notes

Substitutions

Milk: Use whatever milk you prefer.
Heavy Cream: Use cashew cream or coconut milk in lieu of the heavy cream. The coconut will make it taste like coconut.
Sweeteners: Use whatever sweeteners you like like maple syrup, agave nectar, honey, monk fruit, or stevia.

Make Ahead Instructions and Storage

You can make the matcha latte portion a day ahead, and the strawberry syrup or puree can be made a day or two ahead as well. Keep them in airtight containers in the fridge until you're ready to make your strawberry matcha latte.
The cold foam cannot be made ahead, it'll deflate. Whip it up just before serving.
