ey everyone! If you’re into matcha but looking for something a little extra, this Strawberry Matcha Latte is your new best friend. Think of it as the perfect balance between sweet, fruity strawberry and the earthy, vibrant matcha – creating a beautifully layered drink that’s as Instagrammable as it is delicious. And the best part? It’s super easy to make! Here’s how to get that perfect layered look and flavor.
Made with Heapwell's Imperial Matcha
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp (3g) Heapwell Matcha
- 60 ml hot water (75-80°C)
- 100 ml cold milk (oat milk works really well)
- 50 ml strawberry puree (fresh or pre-made)
- Ice cubes (for that refreshing chill)
Directions:
-
Make the Strawberry Puree: Start by blending or mashing the strawberries. If you like your drink a little sweeter, feel free to add some sweetener to the puree. Blend it all up until you’ve got that smooth, rich strawberry goodness.
-
Layer the Strawberry Puree: Add the strawberry puree to the bottom of a tall glass. This vibrant red base will create that beautiful layer effect.
-
Add the Milk: Now, pour in the cold milk over the strawberry puree. The contrast of the white milk and red puree creates a lovely layered look. Oat milk works especially well for this, but any milk you love will do!
-
Whisk the Matcha: In a separate bowl or mug, whisk the Heapwell Matcha with the hot water until it’s frothy. Make sure to whisk well to get that smooth texture.
-
Pour the Matcha: Gently pour the matcha over the milk, and watch the magic happen as it forms another beautiful layer on top. The green matcha will sit nicely over the milk, creating a stunning visual contrast.
-
Serve and Enjoy: You can serve it as-is and admire the layers, or stir it all up to mix the flavors together. Either way, it’s delicious!
