STRAWBERRY
MATCHA.
STIR IT.
The pink layer looks good. You should still taste the matcha once you stir it.
STRAWBERRY MATCHA LATTE
Strawberry at the bottom. Milk in the middle. Matcha on top. Very good-looking drink.
But you’re going to stir it, so that’s the version worth getting right. Here’s a simple strawberry matcha latte recipe for one glass, adapted from ICHIZEN’s recipe.
One glass. Here’s what goes in.
- 80g fresh strawberries, washed and tops removed
- 2g pure matcha
- 40ml water at 70–80°C
- 150ml cold oat milk, or your usual milk
- 1 teaspoon sugar, optional
- Ice to fill your glass around the drink
These amounts are for pure matcha powder. If your powder is already sweetened, follow its pack directions and taste before adding sugar.
Mash. Whisk. Pour.
- Mash the strawberries with a fork. Add the sugar if you want it. For smoother strawberry purée, blend instead.
- Sift the matcha into a bowl, add the measured water and whisk until there are no visible lumps.
- Spoon the strawberries into a glass. Add ice, pour in the cold milk, then gently pour the matcha over the top.
- Get your photo. Stir from the bottom before drinking.
Yes, oat milk works.
Use the oat milk you already like. Keep it at 150ml for the first glass so you have something to work from.
There’s no need to buy three cartons because someone online named a winner. If you compare milks later, keep the fruit and matcha amounts the same. You want to know what the milk changed.
Taste it before adding more.
Too sweet? Leave out the extra sugar next time, especially if your milk is sweetened. Can’t taste the tea? Try less strawberry or a little less milk before changing powders.
Change one amount, then keep the version you like. A quick note on your phone beats trying to remember what went into yesterday’s glass.
If the tea itself tastes harsh or gritty, start with the bitter-matcha guide. More strawberry won’t tell you what went wrong.
