    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    Whether you’re a matcha lover or just looking to mix up your latte routine, this strawberry matcha iced latte is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy your favorite morning beverage. Made with just a few simple ingredients, this latte is surprisingly easy to make at home. Best of all, it’s packed with antioxidants and natural energy from the matcha. Here are a few reasons why you’ll love this recipe:

    • The matcha provides a gentle boost of energy that will last throughout the morning.
    • The strawberries add a lovely sweetness to the latte without being overpowering. For a little extra sweetness, we've added a little brown sugar.
    • This latte is made with milk, so it’s nice and creamy.
    • The recipe can easily be tailored to your taste – add more or less sweetener, depending on how you like your iced latte.

    What You’ll Need To Make Strawberry Matcha Latte

    Ingredients used to make strawberry matcha latte.

    Strawberries: You’ll need about ⅔ cup of fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe. If you’re using frozen strawberries, there’s no need to thaw them first.

    Brown sugar: This is optional, but I like to add a little bit of brown sugar to our strawberry matcha latte to balance out the bitterness of the matcha. If you don’t have brown sugar on hand, you can use regular granulated sugar or honey syrup instead.

    Vanilla extract: A little bit of vanilla extract helps to round out the flavors in this latte. I like to add the vanilla extract to the strawberries and brown sugar before blending to make the strawberry puree.

    Matcha powder: We like to use ceremonial grade matcha powder for this recipe, but you can use culinary grade powder as well.

    Milk: I like to use whole milk for this recipe, but you can use any type of milk that you like. If you’re looking for a non-dairy option, almond milk or soy milk would be good substitutes.

    Ice: You’ll need about 1 cup of ice to make this iced latte. Feel free to add more or less to suit your drink preference.

    Step-By-Step Instructions: How To Make Strawberry Matcha Latte

    Now that you’ve gathered your ingredients, it’s time to make your strawberry matcha latte. Here are the simple steps to follow:

    Step 1: Add the strawberries, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to a blender and blend until smooth.

    Step 2: Pour the strawberry puree into a glass. Spoon some of the puree up the sides of the glass to make a more dramatic effect when adding the milk and matcha layers.

    Step 3: Add the matcha powder to a separate glass or bowl with ⅓ cup of hot water and whisk until there are no clumps. You can use a traditional bamboo whisk or a small electric hand mixer for this step to ensure that the matcha powder is mixed in well.

    Step 4: Add the ice to the glass and then pour the milk over the top of the glass. Pour the milk over the back of a spoon to help create a layered effect.

    Step 5: Gently pour the matcha mixture over the milk to create the third layer.

    Recipe Notes & Tips

    Here are a few tips to keep in mind when making this recipe:

    • If you find that the matcha powder is clumping up, sift it through a fine mesh strainer before adding the hot water.
    • If you don’t have a blender, you can use a food processor, masher, or even just a fork to make the strawberry puree.
    • To make this latte vegan, use a plant-based milk and sweetener of your choice.
    • If you don’t have fresh strawberries on hand, frozen strawberries can be used instead.
    • If you want a more intense strawberry flavor, use 1 cup of strawberries instead of ⅔ cup.
    • To make this latte extra frothy, use a milk frother or blender to blend the milk before adding it to the latte.

    Serving Suggestions And Substitutions

    Here are a few ideas of how to serve your strawberry matcha latte:

    • Try serving this latte with cut up strawberries or a small handful of raspberries on top.
    • For a fun twist, try making a strawberry matcha milkshake by adding all of the ingredients (except for the ice) to a blender and blending until smooth.
    • If you want a stronger matcha flavor, use 2 teaspoons of matcha powder instead of 1 teaspoon.
    • If you want a less sweet latte, reduce the amount of brown sugar or omit it altogether.

    If you’re looking for a delicious and refreshing iced latte, look no further than this strawberry matcha latte. But if you’re not able to find the exact ingredients don’t worry! There are plenty of substitutions you can make to create a similar drink. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

    • If you don’t have fresh strawberries on hand, you can use frozen strawberries or any other type of berries that you like.
    • If you don't want to use berries, try using a different fruit like mango, pineapple, or peach. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sugar you add based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose.
    • If you want a non-dairy option, you can use almond milk, soy milk, or any other type of milk that you like.

    If you love strawberry flavored drinks but don't have matcha on hand, another great option is this Pink Drink With Vanilla Cold Foam.

    How To Store Leftovers

    Leftover strawberry matcha latte can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. The pretty layers won't last that long, but it will still taste delicious with the ingredients mixed together.

    When you’re ready to drink your latte, just give it a good shake or stir before enjoying. If you find that the latte has separated, feel free to blend it up again before drinking.
