Macerated Strawberry Matcha Latte. The ultimate summer matcha. Nothing says summer like macerated strawberries, and matcha brings the perfect seasonal twist—sweet, slightly tart, and so refreshing. If you love switching up your matcha, this is one you have to try.
Strawberry Matcha was one of the first matcha recipes I tried when I first started drinking matcha. Who knew strawberry and matcha would be the perfect combination.
Why you’ll love this Strawberry Matcha Latte:
- Customizable: It’s not overly sweet, but if you prefer your matcha on the sweeter side, you can easily adjust it to your liking.
- Saves money: Investing in a matcha kit and quality matcha powder is so much more cost-effective than buying one every day. Plus, you can whip up endless varieties at home—a total win-win. Your pockets will thank you (I know mine do!).
