This step is crucial. A smooth matcha makes your drink taste rich and creamy. Next, we need to make the strawberry puree. Take one cup of fresh strawberries, hull and slice them. Place the strawberries in a blender. Add one tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to sweeten. Blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth puree. If the puree is too thick, you can add a bit of water to reach your desired consistency. This puree adds a burst of flavor and color to your drink. Now, let's assemble the latte! Grab a tall glass to show off those beautiful layers. Start by adding the strawberry puree to the bottom of the glass, filling it about one-third full. Next, gently pour in one cup of warm milk over the strawberry layer. Avoid boiling the milk to keep its texture right. Finally, slowly drizzle the matcha mixture on top. This creates a lovely layered look. For a refreshing twist, you can add ice cubes. If you want to make it extra special, top with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry slice. For the full recipe, check out the details we provided earlier! To make a beautiful layered drink, start with the strawberry puree. Pour it into the glass first. This will be the base layer. Next, warm your milk to just below boiling. If the milk is too hot, it will mix with the puree. Pour the warm milk slowly over the back of a spoon. This helps keep the layers separate. Lastly, drizzle the matcha on top gently for the best effect. You can adjust the sweetness for your taste. If it’s not sweet enough, add more honey or maple syrup. For a different twist, try adding a splash of vanilla extract. This small change can make a big difference. You can also experiment with other flavors like almond or coconut. Choosing the right glass makes a big impact. Clear glasses work best to show off the layers. You want your drink to look as good as it tastes. For garnishing, add a fresh strawberry slice on top.

1 cup milk (or any plant-based milk you prefer)

1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder

1 tablespoon hot water

Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled version)

Whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

In a small bowl, combine the matcha green tea powder with the hot water. Use a whisk to mix until smooth and free from clumps, and then set the mixture aside.

    Place the sliced strawberries into a blender, along with the honey or maple syrup. Blend them together until you achieve a smooth, vibrant strawberry puree.

      In a separate bowl or measuring cup, gently heat the milk (or plant-based milk) until it’s warm, but ensure it does not boil to maintain the texture.

        Prepare a glass by layering the bottom with the freshly made strawberry puree, ensuring it fills about a third of the glass.

          Carefully pour the warm milk over the strawberry layer, allowing it to mix slightly for a beautiful visual effect.

            With care, drizzle the prepared matcha mixture on top of the milk layer, creating a stunning layered appearance.

              If you’d like a refreshing twist, add a few ice cubes to the mixture, or enjoy it warm as it is.
