Get the Recipe: Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte Recipe
This stawberry matcha latte is inspired by Boba Guys' famous drink and made with three colorful layers of strawberry puree, milk, and tea made from matcha.
Ingredients
For The Strawberry Puree
- ⅔ cup fresh or frozen strawberries, cleaned and hulled
- ½ cup (4 ounces or 113 grams) water
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- pinch of kosher salt
For The Strawberry Matcha Latte
- 1 ½ teaspoons matcha powder
- 3 ½ Tablespoons (1.75 ounces or 50 grams) water, warmed to 170°F and divided into 1 Tablespoon (0.5 ounces or 14 grams) and 2 ½ Tablespoons portions (1.25 ounces or 36 grams)
- 6 Tablespoons (3 ounces or 85 grams) cold strawberry puree (from above recipe)
- 8 ounces (227 grams) ice cubes
- ¾ cup (6 ounces or 170 grams) cold whole milk
Equipment
- a blender
- a matcha whisk or a handheld milk frother
Instructions
For The Strawberry Puree
- Make the strawberry puree. Combine the strawberries, water, sugar, and salt into a high-powered blender. Blend on medium until the mixture is pureed but still slightly thick and chunky (like the texture of applesauce), about 30 seconds.
- Serve and store. Use immediately or store for later. The strawberry puree will keep, in an airtight jar in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days.
For the Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte
- Make the matcha. In a small bowl, combine the matcha powder and 1 Tablespoon (0.5 ounces or 14 grams) of the hot water. Whisk vigorously until combined, or until it has the consistency of natural peanut butter or tahini. Pour in the remaining 2 ½ Tablespoons (1.25 ounces or 36 grams) of the hot water and whisk vigorously until any remaining lumps disappear, about 30 seconds.
- Assemble the strawberry matcha latte. Pour the strawberry puree into a 16-ounce glass. Add the ice, then slowly pour the milk over the ice, aiming for the ice cubes. Finally, slowly pour the matcha over the milk, again aiming for the ice cubes.
- Serve immediately. Serve immediately with a straw.
