Lately, I’ve been visiting various neighborhood coffee shops pretty frequently. While it’s nice to get out of the house to have a change of scenery and clear my mind a bit, coffee shop drinks are definitely pricey and it takes a bit of time to go and get the drink. With the goal of saving time and a little bit of money, I created this Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte as a little mid morning pick-me-up.

Ingredients in Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte

Matcha: Matcha contains a ton of antioxidants. Because of the way it is grown and because matcha uses the entire leaf, it has more caffeine and antioxidants than green tea . The high dose of antioxidants in matcha may help with liver health, brain function, cancer prevention, heart health, and a decrease in chronic diseases.

Maple syrup: Maple syrup is used as a natural sweetener in this recipe. Just 1/2 a teaspoon is blended with the match and milk of choice, but it is the perfect amount for this delicious iced latte.

Milk: You can use any kind of milk you want here! We typically have plant-based milks on hand like soy milk or oat milk, but any milk will work.

Strawberries: Strawberries add a sweetness and fruitiness to this drink. They are rich in vitamin C and fiber and the perfect addition to matcha.

Coconut sugar: Coconut sugar is a sweetener that is still sugar (as the name suggests). There is a small dose of some minerals and antioxidants in coconut sugar, and it has a richer flavor that white sugar.

How to Make Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte

I don’t have a matcha whisk, so I start by blending the matcha, maple and milk of choice in a blender until everything is completely combined and a little frothy. While the blender is going, I smash the strawberries with the coconut sugar using a muddler. Fill the cup of strawberries and sugar with ice, then pour the blended matcha over the top. Stir and enjoy!

Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte Tips

• You can use any kind of milk in this recipe.
• If you don’t have coconut sugar, you can use regular sugar.
• I love this Nativa Matcha(affiliate link), but I haven’t tried many other brands to give a true comparison.
• The strawberries need to be roughly chopped. Chopping them a little makes them easier to smash.
• I like to use a 2 cup mason jar and a ton of ice when making this recipe.
