Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 50 ml hot water around 80°C
- 100 ml coconut milk I used Alpro Barista Coconut
- 50 g fresh strawberries
- 1 –2 tsp white sugar adjust to taste
- Ice cubes
- Fresh strawberry for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry BaseWash and hull the strawberries. Place them in a bowl and mash them using a fork, a potato masher, or blend them for a smoother purée. Stir in the sugar and mix well. Spoon the strawberry mixture into the bottom of your serving glass.
- Prepare the Matcha LayerIn a small bowl or matcha bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove clumps. Pour in the hot water and whisk using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or handheld frother until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Assemble the DrinkFill the serving glass with ice over the strawberry purée. Slowly pour in the coconut milk over the ice. Finally, top with the prepared matcha. This creates a beautiful layered effect.
- Garnish and ServeGarnish with a fresh strawberry and enjoy immediately with a straw.
Notes
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to the strawberry layer. Feel free to swap coconut milk with almond, oat, or regular milk. For a creamier texture, use barista-style plant milk. Stir before drinking to mix all the flavors together.
