Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Fresh or frozen strawberries
Sugar or honey
Milk (dairy or non-dairy like oat, almond, or coconut)
Matcha powder (culinary or ceremonial grade)
Hot water
Ice cubes

Directions

I start by making the strawberry base: I mash or blend the strawberries with sugar until smooth and slightly syrupy.
I prepare the matcha by whisking the matcha powder with hot water until fully dissolved and frothy.
In a glass, I add a generous spoonful of the strawberry puree to the bottom.
I add ice on top, then pour in the milk gently to create a layered look.
I slowly pour the prepared matcha over the milk so it floats on top.
I give it a gentle stir before sipping, or keep the layers for a pretty presentation.

Variations

I use maple syrup or agave instead of sugar for the strawberries.
I blend the whole drink together for a smoothie-like texture.
I add a splash of vanilla extract to the milk for extra creaminess.
I use coconut milk for a tropical twist that pairs beautifully with both matcha and strawberry.

storage/reheating

This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but I store extra strawberry puree in the fridge for up to 3 days. I keep it in a sealed container and use it as needed for quick assembly. Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes, I thaw them slightly and blend—they work perfectly and make the drink extra cold.

What kind of matcha should I use?

I go with culinary or ceremonial grade matcha. The better the quality, the smoother and greener the flavor.

Can I make it sugar-free?

Yes, I use unsweetened strawberries or a sugar substitute to control the sweetness.

What’s the best milk for this?

I love oat milk or almond milk for a creamy texture, but any milk works depending on my preference.

Do I need a bamboo whisk?

Not necessarily—I use any small whisk or a milk frother to mix the matcha well.

Conclusion

Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte is a gorgeous, refreshing drink that tastes as good as it looks. I love the way the flavors layer together—sweet fruit, creamy milk, and bold matcha—and how easy it is to make at home. Whether I’m treating myself or sharing with friends, it’s a drink I reach for again and again.
