Strawberry Matcha Latte (Strong Strawberry Flavor, No Roasting)
This strawberry matcha latte has strong strawberry flavor and uses minimal sugar. I cook strawberries briefly over stovetop to bring out the best flavor. Use a plant based milk to keep it vegan/dairy-free.

- 2 tsp high quality drinking matcha (4g)
- 1/2 cup hot water

Instructions
- 1
Put strawberries and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until strawberries have softened and a syrup has formed. Mash any remaining large strawberry chunks with a fork.

Meanwhile, heat water on stovetop until just about to boil. Strain matcha into a bowl and add water. Whisk or use a frother to completely suspend the matcha in water.
- 3
Divide the strawberry syrup between two glasses. Add ice cubes on top, filling almost to the rim.
- 4
Pour 1/2 cup milk into each glass.
- 5
Divide the dissolved matcha in two portions and pour over the milk in each glass. To create a layered effect, aim the matcha to hit the ice cubes rather than falling directly into the liquid.
