Strawberry Matcha Latte

Recently, I've been super into matcha and have been experimenting a lot with different ingredients and ratios. This simple strawberry matcha latte recipe is sure to add a twist to your morning matcha!

Ingredients:

120 mL milk - you can substitute with the milk of your choice!

3g matcha powder - use a high quality ceremonial grade matcha if possible!

50g hot water - make sure the water is not boiling, maybe around 80 degrees Celcius is best.

4 strawberries - you can substitute with strawberry jam. Omit the sweetener if you use jam.

1 tbsp maple syrup - you can substitute with sugar or honey. Personally, I don't like the taste of honey in my matcha, but many people will enjoy honey, agave syrup, or just plain granulated sugar. Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener you want!

ice - I personally don't usually have ice on hand so I just omit it.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberry Jam

You can prepare this the simple way or the more advanced way.

Simple Method - crush your strawberries and mix in the sweetener. (You can use a blender as well)

Advanced - make your own strawberry jam by crushing your strawberries and boiling it with sugar. (make sure to add a little water at a time to make sure nothing burns!)

2. In a tall glass, put in your crushed strawberries.

3. Add 120mL of milk and ice if using.

4. In a separate bowl, sift 3g of matcha powder. Add in 50g of hot water and whisk in a Z shape until mixed well. (You can also use a handheld frother)
