Iced strawberry matcha latte is a refreshing layered drink made with sweet strawberry syrup, creamy milk, and earthy matcha for a visually stunning and balanced sweet-bitter flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 2–3 tbsp granulated sugar or honey
  • 2 tbsp water (for syrup)
  • 1–2 tsp matcha powder
  • 2 tbsp hot water (not boiling)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Whipped cream or strawberry slices for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make strawberry syrup by cooking strawberries, sugar, and water in a small pan over medium heat until soft and jam-like.
  2. Mash strawberries lightly and let the syrup cool completely.
  3. Sift matcha powder into a bowl to remove clumps.
  4. Add hot water and whisk vigorously until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Fill a glass with ice cubes and add cooled strawberry syrup at the bottom.
  6. Slowly pour milk over the strawberry layer to create separation.
  7. Gently pour prepared matcha over the top to form distinct layers.
  8. Optionally top with whipped cream or strawberry slices and serve.

Notes

  • Sift matcha to prevent clumping and ensure smooth texture.
  • Use warm but not boiling water for matcha to preserve flavor.
  • Pour layers slowly for a more defined visual effect.
  • Strawberry syrup can be made ahead and stored for quick assembly.
  • Stir before drinking if you prefer a blended flavor instead of layers.
