Ingredients

Matcha Latte

• 1 teaspoon matcha powder, ceremonial grade
• 2 oz hot water
• 1 teaspoon liquid sweetener, e.g. agave nectar
• 5 oz milk, dairy or plant-based (I prefer oat milk)
• ice

Strawberry Sweet Cream

• 2–3 medium strawberries
• 2 oz heavy cream
• 1 oz milk
• 1 teaspoon sweetener

Instructions

Prepare the Matcha Latte

1. Place the matcha powder into a small bowl by sifting it to remove clumps.
2. Add the hot water, then whisk briskly using a bamboo whisk or milk frother until the mixture is smooth and lightly frothy.
3. While still warm, mix in the sweetener.
4. Fill a glass about three-quarters full with ice.
5. Pour in the milk followed by the prepared matcha. Stir well to combine.

Make the Strawberry Sweet Cream

1. Add strawberries, heavy cream, milk, and sweetener into a small bullet blender.
2. Blend for 5–10 seconds, until the texture becomes similar to melted ice cream.

Assemble

1. Pour the strawberry sweet cream over the matcha latte.
2. Lightly stir to create a soft, layered gradient effect.
