By blending it with the natural sweetness of strawberries, you get a truly unique and irresistible drink that's sure to become your new favorite.

Ingredients and Preparation

To make the perfect Strawberry Matcha Latte, you'll need the following:

• 1 teaspoon of high-quality organic matcha powder (we recommend T% Matcha's premium ceremonial grade)
• 1/2 cup of hot water (around 175°F/80°C)
• 1/2 cup of milk of your choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
• 2-3 fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
• 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetening)

Start by whisking the matcha powder and hot water together in a small bowl or mug until it's smooth and frothy. This traditional Japanese method, known as "koicha," helps to fully incorporate the matcha and create a rich, creamy texture.

Next, heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave until it's steaming hot but not boiling. Carefully pour the milk into the matcha mixture and stir gently to combine.

Finally, add the sliced strawberries and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup (if desired) to the latte. Give it a gentle stir to incorporate the flavors, and enjoy your delightful Strawberry Matcha creation!

The Benefits of Matcha

Matcha is more than just a delicious beverage – it's a true superfood. Unlike regular green tea, where the leaves are steeped and then discarded, matcha powder is made from the entire leaf, which means you're consuming the full nutritional benefits.

Matcha is rich in antioxidants, including the powerful catechin EGCG, which can help boost metabolism and support overall health. It's also a great source of L-theanine, an amino acid that can promote relaxation and focus, providing a gentle, sustained energy boost without the jitters often associated with coffee.

Whether you're looking for a healthier alternative to your morning coffee or simply want to indulge in a delicious and unique treat, the Strawberry Matcha Latte from T% Matcha is the perfect choice. So why not treat yourself and experience the magic of this incredible superfood today?
