How to Make the Perfect Strawberry Matcha Latte at Home

There is nothing quite like the vibrant, Instagram-worthy aesthetic and the refreshing taste of a Strawberry Matcha Latte. The earthy, umami notes of premium ceremonial grade matcha perfectly balance the sweet, fruity brightness of fresh strawberries.

Whether you are looking to elevate your morning ritual or impress your friends at brunch, this guide will help you craft the perfect, café-quality strawberry matcha latte in your own kitchen.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To get the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients.

For the Strawberry Base

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (fresh is best for flavor).

  • 1 tbsp agave syrup, honey, or maple syrup (adjust to your preference).

  • 1 tsp warm water (to help dissolve the sweetener).

For the Matcha Layer

  • 2g-3g premium ceremonial grade matcha powder (sifted).

  • Warm water (not boiling, roughly 70ºC-80°C).

  • Your preferred milk (oat, regular, almond, etc)

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Strawberry Puree

Place your strawberries and sweetener in a small bowl or jar. Muddle them thoroughly until you achieve a jam-like consistency with small, textured fruit chunks. Scoop this mixture into the bottom of your favorite glass.

2. Prepare the Matcha

In a separate small bowl or chawan, sift your matcha powder. Add the warm water and use a bamboo whisk to whisk in a "W" or "M" motion until a thin layer of foam forms and all clumps are dissolved.

3. Add Ice and Milk

Fill your glass (which already contains the strawberry puree) with ice cubes. Pour your choice of milk over the ice until the glass is about 3/4 full.

4. The Final Pour

Gently pour your prepared matcha over the milk. The density difference will create a stunning layered effect.

5. Stir and Enjoy

Give your drink a gentle stir before taking your first sip to marry the flavors together.

 

Pro-Tips for Success

  • Temperature Matters: Never use boiling water for matcha, as it will scorch the powder and make it taste bitter.

  • The Milk Choice: Oat milk is the gold standard for matcha lattes because its natural creaminess complements the grassy notes of the tea without overpowering them.

  • Sift Your Matcha: Always sift your powder! This ensures a smooth, lump-free texture that makes all the difference in the final mouthfeel.
