My Store AdminShare
Sweet, creamy, and antioxidant-rich - this vibrant drink is a treat for all senses.
First, Make the Homemade Strawberry Sauce
This delicious strawberry sauce can be prepared in advance and used throughout the week in drinks, desserts, or over yogurt.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups fresh diced strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, combine all ingredients.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15 mins until thickened.
- Stir occasionally - add splash of water if it gets too thick.
- Leave the strawberry pieces whole for texture, or blend it once cooled for a smoother sauce.
- Transfer to an airtight jar. Keep refrigerated for about 5 days or freeze in ice cube trays for up to 6 months.
Tip. This sauce is amazing with sparkling water too - try it with dash of lemon for a strawberry soda twist.
Now, Let’s Make the Matcha Latte
Matcha and strawberries are a dream combo: fruity, creamy, and energising.
What You'll Need:
- 2-3 g Green bubble Matcha No.1
- 50 ml hot water (80 C not boiling)
- 150-200ml milk of your choice (chilled)
- Ice cubes
- 1-2 tablespoons of your homemade strawberry sauce
- Bamboo whisk, or electric whisk, or jar with lid
- Sifter & matcha bowl or small bowl
Instructions:
- Soak your bamboo whisk in hot water while getting ready to prevent from breakage.
- Sift your matcha into a bowl - this removes clumbs for a smooth whisk.
- Add a splash of hot water and mix to form a paste with soaked bamboo whisk.
- Pour in the rest of the hot water and whisk in a "W" or "M" motion until green foam appears.
- In your serving glass, add 1-2 tablespoons of strawberry sauce.
- Fill the glass with ice.
- Pour in cold milk gently.
- Slowly pour the matcha on top for beautiful layers.
Por Tip. Make sure the milk is cold and the glass is packed with ice, try pour on top of the ice cube - this helps keep the layers separate and makes your drink totally instagram-worthy.
Why this Combo Works
Matcha brings clean, calm energy.
Strawberry sauce adds sweetness and vitamin C. Together? It's like spring in a glass - refreshing, rich, and better than anything you'd find at a chain caffe.
