Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 3 to 4 tablespoons warm water
- Milk of choice, for pouring
- Lots of ice
Instructions
- Make the strawberry layer: Add the strawberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add to the glasses: Divide the strawberry purée evenly between 2 glasses, spooning it into the bottom.
- Make the matcha layer: In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 3 to 4 tablespoons warm water until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Build the drinks: Fill each glass generously with ice. Slowly pour in the milk of your choice over the ice, leaving a little room at the top for the matcha.
- Top with matcha: Gently pour the matcha mixture over each drink to create that gorgeous green top layer.
- Serve: Stick in a straw, give it a stir, and start sipping.
Notes
• Layering tip: For the prettiest red-white-green effect, pour the milk slowly over lots of ice, then add the matcha gently on top.
• Matcha tip: Always whisk the matcha with warm water first so it dissolves smoothly and doesn’t clump.
• Sweetness note: This recipe has a lightly sweet, fresh strawberry flavor. For a sweeter drink, add a touch more maple syrup to the strawberry layer. •
• Milk options: Dairy milk is especially delicious here and gives it that classic coffee shop vibe, but almond, soy, oat, or any favorite milk works beautifully.
• Make it vegan: Use a plant-based milk, such as soy, oat or almond. • Gluten-free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free.
• Serving tip: This is best enjoyed right away, while the layers are fresh and the ice is nice and cold.
