The strawberry matcha latte is fruity, creamy, and earthy. The 4-ingredient drink is as stunning as it is delicious. The perfect balance of refreshing and cozy, it takes just 10 minutes to make!
The first time I made a mango matcha latte, I couldn’t get enough. Adding fruit to matcha? Absolute game-changer. So, of course, I had to try it with fresh, juicy strawberries. And let me tell you—it did not disappoint. Sweet, creamy, and packed with that signature matcha kick, this is the kind of drink that makes an ordinary afternoon feel just a little extra.

Strawberry Matcha Latte Ingredients
Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are best. Not in season? Frozen works, too. Just thaw them first. If you have extra, try these fabulous strawberry turnovers.
Sweetener: A little bit of sugar enhances the strawberries’ flavor. Swap with honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sweetener if you prefer.
Milk: I love almond milk for its nutty flavor, but oat milk, cashew milk, or regular dairy milk all work.
Matcha: High-quality matcha gives the best flavor. Sift it first to avoid clumps in the iced strawberry matcha latte! If you love matcha, you’ll also enjoy this matcha chia pudding.

Pro Tips
- Chop the strawberries into small pieces. It will be easier to mash them.
- Allow the strawberries to macerate with sugar for 5 -10 minutes. They become softer, sweeter, and more flavorful.
- The amount of sugar you add here depends on how sweet your berries are and your preference for sweetness.
- You can use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar.
- You can use a fork to mash the strawberries for a chunkier texture or blend them into a smooth puree if you prefer a smooth texture.
- Please use quality matcha powder. I prefer using ceremonial-grade matcha.
- Make sure you whisk the matcha liquid well. You can use a small whisk, a matcha whisk, or an electric whisk as I did.
