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.

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.
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!
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.
