A creamy and refreshing drink with strawberry puree, fresh milk, and matcha layers
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
- 2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- ice cubes
Instructions
Matcha Tea
- Add the matcha powder into a cup. Pour the hot water on top and whisk thoroughly until the matcha powder is fully dissolved. Chill the matcha tea in the fridge.
Strawberry Puree
- Cut the strawberries into quarters and toss them into a small saucepan. Add the sugar.
- On medium heat, stir the strawberry sugar mixture until the strawberry releases its juices. Using a fork, break down the strawberries until it becomes a sauce. Put it in the fridge to chill.
Assemble the Latte
- In a serving glass, pour the strawberry puree into the cup. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Then gently add the milk, leaving about half of an inch to the rim of the glass.
- Add the chilled matcha tea to fill the remainder of the glass. Tip: Pour the three components (strawberry puree, milk, and matcha) slowly and gently into the cup to create three distinct layers.
- Serve, stir, and enjoy immediately!
