Make a layered iced strawberry matcha latte at home using a simple strawberry puree and sweet syrup. This recipe gives you the pink and green swirl look.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for strawberry puree)
  • 1 teaspoon water (for strawberry puree)
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons hot water (for dissolving matcha)
  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup plant milk (oat or almond recommended)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Make the strawberry puree: Combine strawberries, sugar, and 1 teaspoon water in a small blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
  2. Prepare the matcha: Whisk the matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of hot water until fully dissolved and frothy.
  3. Assemble the drink: In a tall glass, add ice cubes. Pour the simple syrup over the ice.
  4. Add the strawberry layer: Spoon the strawberry puree gently over the ice and syrup.
  5. Add the milk: Slowly pour the plant milk over the strawberry layer.
  6. Create the swirl: Slowly pour the dissolved matcha mixture over the milk layer. The density difference will create the pink and green layers.
  7. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

  • For a sweeter drink, increase the simple syrup amount.
  • Use oat milk for the creamiest texture that mimics coffee shop drinks.
  • To get the best swirl for photos, pour the matcha slowly over the back of a spoon placed just above the milk layer.
