Ingredients
Strawberry Syrup
- 1 cup strawberries
- ¼ cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
Matcha Latte
- 1 tablespoon ceremonial grade matcha
- ⅓ cup hot water
- ¾ cup milk of choice (cashew milk recommended)
Instructions
- Add the strawberries and granulated monk fruit sweetener to a blender and blend until smooth. If a blender is not available, mash the strawberries thoroughly until they can be easily sipped through a straw.
- Place the matcha powder in a small bowl and add the hot water. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and all clumps are dissolved.
- Pour the strawberry syrup into the bottom of a glass, then fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Pour your choice of milk over the ice, followed by the whisked matcha mixture.
- Add more ice if desired, gently stir to combine the layers, and enjoy your iced strawberry matcha latte.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries depending on availability.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of monk fruit sweetener.
- Ceremonial grade matcha produces the best flavor and texture but culinary grade matcha can be used in a pinch.
- Any plant-based milk works well; cashew milk offers a creamy texture without overpowering the flavors.
- For a vegan version, ensure the milk of choice is plant-based.
- For extra flavor, garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a sprinkle of matcha powder.
