Cool, creamy, and bursting with fresh berry flavor, this Strawberry Milk Matcha Latte is a refreshing twist on the classic iced matcha latte. It combines vibrant matcha with homemade strawberry milk for a drink that tastes as good as it looks.
Fresh strawberries are blended with Plant Strong Unsweetened Almond Milk to create the creamy pink layer. A touch of maple syrup brings out the berries’ natural sweetness without relying on refined sugar or artificial strawberry syrups.
The matcha layer keeps things simple, too. Matcha powder is whisked with hot water until smooth, then poured over ice and the strawberry milk. The result is a beautiful layered drink with earthy matcha and bright strawberry flavor in every sip.
Matcha is made from finely ground green tea leaves, so you consume the whole leaf rather than steeping and removing it. It naturally contains caffeine, making this latte an easy option when you want a morning or afternoon pick-me-up.
Matcha also contains naturally occurring plant compounds called catechins. One of the best known is epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, an antioxidant found in green tea.
Strawberries bring their own nutritional benefits to the glass. They’re a source of vitamin C, fiber, and beneficial plant compounds. Using whole strawberries also gives the drink real fruit flavor without needing a flavored syrup.
Best of all, this Strawberry Milk Matcha Latte only takes a few minutes to make. Blend the strawberry milk, whisk your matcha, add plenty of ice, and pour everything together.
You can stir the layers before drinking or leave them swirled together for that café-style look. Either way, you’ll get creamy strawberry and earthy matcha flavors throughout the glass.
Whether you’re looking for a naturally sweet summer drink or simply want to switch up your usual matcha routine, this recipe makes it easy. It’s creamy, fruity, dairy-free, and made with simple ingredients you can feel good about.
