Preparation
- Step 1
Add strawberries and sugar to a medium bowl. Using a muddler, potato masher or fork, mash and thoroughly combine them. (If you want a smoother latte, pulse strawberries and sugar in a blender.) Set aside.
- Step 2
Prepare the matcha per package instructions, using ½ cup of room temperature water and mixing until combined. There should be no visible lumps of matcha powder.
- Step 3
Divide strawberry mixture among 4 tall glasses, then fill halfway with ice. Carefully pour 1 to 1½ cups of milk into each glass over the ice and strawberries. Then top each serving with about 2 tablespoons of the matcha mixture. You should see 3 distinct colors.
- Step 4
Stir to combine before drinking. The drink is best consumed through a wide straw.

For those not used to making matcha lattes: (i) use a high quality matcha drinking powder not a "cooking" powder; (i) buy a chasen to thoroughly mix matcha with water, works better than whisks; (iii) matcha quantity should be 1 1/2 TSP PER SERVING (total of 6 TSP); (iv) water should be hot when mixing matcha, otherwise it will not blend well; and (v) to cool it, make milk ice cubes and drop them into the hot matcha, stirring, otherwise you will water down the matcha too much. Fabulous recipe!
I think the recipe works better in equal thirds. Not enough matcha as written, in my opinion. The matcha makes the drink. Otherwise, it’s just a lot of milk and strawberries.
One teaspoon of matcha for 4 servings?! This is matcha for people who hate matcha. Try a whole teaspoon per serving. And if you're in a hurry, replace the fruit and sugar with a spoonful of jam.
Yum! I made this for one (me) and used 1/2 teaspoon of matcha, ripe strawberries, and oat milk. Just mashed them in the glass with some sugar before pouring. Will make again!
I use strawberry preserves (~1 tbsp per drink) instead of the strawberries and sugar and quickly blend (in a blender) the jam and milk to make a delicious foamy strawberry milk. Pour the milk on top of the match and ice…perfection.
Loved the ‘use your jam’ suggestion. Definitely needs more matcha than the recipe called for.
