A smooth, sweet, and earthy latte combining bright green matcha with sweet strawberry syrup and creamy coconut milk for a cozy, indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) strawberry syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned or carton coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons (3045 ml) hot water
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sift 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of matcha powder into a small bowl or cup using a fine mesh sieve to remove clumps.
  2. Warm 2 to 3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) of water to about 175°F (80°C), not boiling.
  3. Pour the hot water over the sifted matcha powder and whisk briskly in a zig-zag motion until frothy and fully dissolved, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) strawberry syrup and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using). Heat gently over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness and stir well.
  6. Pour the dissolved matcha into a serving mug. Slowly add the warm strawberry coconut milk mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  7. For extra creaminess, whisk vigorously or use a milk frother for 10-15 seconds to create a light foam on top.
  8. Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnished with a thin slice of fresh strawberry or a sprinkle of matcha powder.

Notes

Use ceremonial grade matcha for best flavor and color. Avoid boiling water to prevent bitterness. Warm coconut milk gently to avoid curdling. Adjust sweetness to taste. For iced version, chill ingredients and serve over ice. Store strawberry coconut milk mixture refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat gently before combining with fresh matcha.
