Iced Strawberry Matcha Recipe

Step 1: Make the strawberry mash

Cut the strawberries into small pieces and place them in a small saucepan with the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat for around 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the strawberries soften.

Using the back of a fork or spoon, gently mash the strawberries until you have a soft, slightly chunky texture.

Allow the strawberry mash to cool completely.

Step 2: Whisk the matcha

Sift 3 grams of matcha powder into a bowl to remove any lumps. Pour in the hot water (around 80°C) and whisk in a quick zigzag (M or W) motion until smooth and frothy.

Tip: Use a temperature-controlled kettle to heat the water to the correct temperature.

Step 3: Assemble the latte

Spoon the cooled mashed strawberry into the bottom of a glass. Fill the glass with ice and pour in your milk. Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the back of a spoon to create beautiful layers.

Step 4: Stir and enjoy

Mix everything together before drinking and enjoy your homemade Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte.

Tips for the Best Strawberry Matcha Latte

• Let the strawberry mash cool completely before assembling your drink.
• Use ripe strawberries for the sweetest flavour.
• Sift your matcha before whisking to create a smoother latte.
• Water that's too hot can make matcha taste bitter. The ideal temperature to whisk your matcha with is 80°C.
• Oat milk creates a particularly creamy texture, but dairy, soy and almond milk also work well.
