tips to make Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte
- Sift matcha powder to avoid lumps.
- Use hot (not boiling) water for matcha — about 160–175°F (70–80°C).
- Chill your glass ahead for a colder drink.
- Use cold heavy cream for better foam.
- Taste and adjust maple syrup or sugar to your liking.
variation (if any)
- Make it vegan: use coconut cream or a whipped oat cream instead of heavy cream.
- Use strawberry syrup for stronger fruit flavor instead of muddled strawberries.
- Make it hot: skip ice and pour steamed milk over the matcha, top with warm strawberry cream.
FAQs
Q: Can I use regular green tea instead of matcha?
A: Regular green tea is weaker and will not give the same bold color or creamy texture. Matcha is best.
Q: How can I make the foam dairy-free?
A: Use coconut cream or chilled oat cream. Blend until thick but pourable.
Q: Do I need a blender for the foam?
A: A small blender or handheld frother works best. You can also whisk very hard, but a blender is easier.
Q: Can I make the drink ahead of time?
A: You can mix the matcha and milk ahead, but add ice and foam right before serving for best texture.
