Ingredients
Strawberry Milk
- 1/2 cup pistachio milk
- 2-3 tablespoons homemade strawberry jam
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Matcha Latte
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon lavender or regular honey (optional)
- 1/2 cup cold water
For Serving
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Make the Strawberry Milk: Combine the pistachio milk, homemade strawberry jam, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the jam is fully incorporated into the milk.
- Prepare the Matcha Paste: In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of hot water until a smooth, lump-free paste forms. This step helps to dissolve the matcha evenly for a better texture.
- Make the Matcha Latte: Add 1/2 cup of cold water to the matcha paste and include the honey if using. Whisk energetically until the mixture turns frothy and well combined.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the strawberry milk over the ice. Gently pour the frothy matcha mixture over the strawberry milk to create a layered effect.
- Mix and Serve: Stir the latte gently to combine both layers and enjoy your refreshing iced strawberry milk matcha latte immediately.
Notes
- Homemade strawberry jam can be made by simmering fresh strawberries with sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice until thickened.
- For a vegan version, ensure the pistachio milk and honey alternative (if used) are plant-based.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of strawberry jam and honey according to taste.
- Use a fine sieve if you prefer a smoother matcha texture without any grit.
