Ingredients
  

For the Strawberry Syrup
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2-3 tablespoons sugar Adjust based on sweetness preference
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Matcha Latte
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder Sifted for best results
  • 2 ounces hot water (not boiling)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (whole, oat, almond, or coconut)
  • Ice Ice For serving
For the Strawberry Foam
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry syrup or purée
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Method
 

Make Strawberry Syrup
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the hulled and sliced strawberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Cook over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens.
  2. Blend the mixture until smooth and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. Let the syrup cool completely.
Prepare the Matcha
  1. Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl and add the hot water.
  2. Whisk until frothy and the matcha is fully dissolved.
Assemble the Drink
  1. In a tall glass, spoon in 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry syrup.
  2. Fill the glass with ice, then slowly pour your choice of milk over the ice.
  3. Gently pour the whisked matcha over the milk to create distinct layers.
Make the Strawberry Foam
  1. In a small jar or bowl, combine heavy cream, strawberry syrup, and vanilla bean paste.
  2. Whisk until thick and frothy, resembling whipped cream.
Serve
  1. Garnish your Strawberry Matcha Latte with fresh strawberries or a drizzle of strawberry syrup.
  2. Enjoy your colorful and delicious drink!

Notes

Store leftover strawberry syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays. The matcha is best made fresh.
