Strawberry Matcha Iced Latte

I like making this strawberry matcha iced latte when I want something refreshing, lightly sweet, and a little energizing. It combines fruity strawberry flavor with smooth matcha and creamy milk for a layered drink that feels both fun and satisfying.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how this drink balances earthy matcha with sweet strawberries. The layers look beautiful, and the flavors blend perfectly when I mix them together. I also enjoy how I can adjust the sweetness and milk to match my preference.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• fresh or frozen strawberries
• matcha powder
• milk of choice
• honey or maple syrup
• water (for matcha)
• ice

Directions

I start by blending the strawberries with a bit of honey or maple syrup until smooth to create a strawberry puree.

In a separate bowl, I whisk the matcha powder with a small amount of warm water until it’s smooth and slightly frothy.

I fill a glass with ice, then pour in the strawberry puree followed by the milk.

I gently pour the matcha on top to create a layered effect. Before drinking, I mix everything together to combine the flavors.

Servings and timing

I usually make 1 serving from this recipe. It takes me about 10 minutes to prepare, and there’s no cooking time required.

Variations

I sometimes add vanilla extract for extra flavor. When I want it creamier, I use coconut milk or oat milk. I also like adding a scoop of collagen or protein powder for an extra boost.

storage/reheating

I prefer making this drink fresh, but I can store the strawberry puree separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I don’t reheat it, as it’s meant to be served cold over ice.
