how to make Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte

Make the strawberry cold foam first so it can rest while you prepare the drink.

Spoon the cold foam over the drink and enjoy.

1 tsp matcha powder
3-4 tbsp hot water
1/2 cup strawberries (optional)
2 tsp sugar (optional)
Ice
1 cup milk of your choice (e.g., almond milk)
3 strawberries (for topping)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1-2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions :

Make the strawberry cold foam by blending the 3 strawberries, heavy cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a small blender for 5-10 seconds until thickened but pourable. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and hot water until foamy.
(Optional) In a glass, muddle the optional strawberries and sugar until broken down.
Fill the glass with ice and add the milk. Top with the matcha mixture.

how to serve Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte

Serve cold with a straw. Stir once so the matcha and milk mix with the foam. Add a sliced strawberry on top for color.

how to store Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte

Store components separately. Keep the matcha mix and milk in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Keep the strawberry foam in an airtight container in the fridge and use within the day. Do not freeze the foam.

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.
