Description
The Starbucks-Inspired Strawberry Matcha Latte is a multifaceted beverage that combines three distinct elements: a fresh fruit puree, a creamy milk base, and a concentrated whisked green tea. Unlike a traditional latte that uses espresso, this version relies on finely ground matcha powder for its caffeine kick. The result is a drink that provides a steady, calm energy without the jitters often associated with coffee.
Ingredients
Strawberry Layer
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled

Matcha Layer

Add the strawberry puree to the bottom of a tall glass.
Fill the glass with ice and pour in the milk.
Slowly pour the matcha over the milk for layered effect.
Stir before drinking and enjoy your refreshing homemade Starbucks-style strawberry matcha latte.
