Instructions
Prepping:
Make sure you have all the ingredients at hand.
Place the can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight or in the freezer for 10 min.
If you’re using frozen strawberries, let them thaw for 30 min – 1 hour before making the latte.
Strawberry puree:
In a small or medium bowl, mash strawberries with the back of a fork.
Add sugar and let rest for 5-10 min (while making the other layers).
Matcha latte:
Place matcha powder into a small pitcher or measuring cup. Add hot water. Beat the matcha powder and hot water with a whisk or matcha whisk until combined. Add sugar and whisk until dissolved.
Stir in milk.
Matcha cream:
Beat or whisk coconut cream with matcha powder.
Add maple syrup and beat until combined. Let chill in the fridge.
Assembling the strawberry matcha latte:
Fill your serving cup with ice and let sit for 2 minutes.
Remove ice and put it back in the freezer (if it’s super hot out).
Drizzle strawberry syrup on the inner edges of the cup.
Put the strawberry puree in the bottom of the cup.
Fill the cup up with ice.
Pour matcha latte in using the back of a spoon to avoid mixing the layers.
With a big spoon, add the matcha cream.
Optional: top with whipped cream, more strawberry syrup, and a fresh strawberry to make this drink extra attractive. Enjoy!
