Why Choose Premium Matcha for This Recipe?
Premium matcha is a high-quality powdered green tea made from shade-grown leaves that are carefully hand-picked, ensuring a rich and smooth flavour. Unlike regular matcha, premium matcha is rich in antioxidants and provides a steady, calm energy boost thanks to its high L-theanine content. Paired with the sweet and tangy flavours of fresh strawberries, it makes for an incredibly balanced, refreshing drink.
Ingredients:
- 2 fresh strawberries
- 1 tbsp strawberry jam (optional: sweetener of your choice)
- 150ml milk (dairy or non-dairy, depending on preference)
- Ice cubes
- 3g premium matcha powder
- 40ml warm water (75°C)
How to Make Strawberry Milk Matcha:
- Mash the Strawberries: In a cup, mash the 2 fresh strawberries along with 1 tbsp strawberry jam and a touch of syrup if desired. This creates a sweet, fruity base for your drink.
- Add the Milk: Add 150ml of milk (dairy or your favorite non-dairy alternative) and ice cubes to your cup. Stir to combine.
- Whisk the Premium Matcha: In a separate bowl, whisk 3g of premium matcha with 40ml of warm water (about 75°C). This step helps to dissolve the matcha fully and create a smooth, frothy texture.
- Combine and Enjoy: Pour the whisked matcha into your glass with the strawberry and milk mixture. Stir until well combined and enjoy this refreshing, energizing drink!
