Instructions
Creating your Strawberry Matcha Latte is both simple and rewarding. Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Strawberries: In a blender, add the sliced strawberries. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired. Set aside.
2. Mix Matcha: In a small bowl, whisk together matcha powder and a couple of tablespoons of hot water until you achieve a smooth paste without lumps.
3. Add Sweetener: Stir honey or your preferred sweetener into the matcha mixture, adjusting according to your taste.
4. Heat Milk: In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. If you prefer an iced version, skip this step.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a glass, layer the strawberry puree, then fill with the warm or iced milk, followed by the matcha mixture. Stir gently to create a beautiful blend of colors.
6. Optional Whipped Cream: If desired, top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent finish.
7. Garnish: Add fresh strawberry slices and a sprinke of matcha powder on top for an attractive presentation.
