- tall glass
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Mixture
- 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and ripe
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar adjust to taste
For the Matcha

- 1 cup cold water
For Assembly

Instructions
Preparation
- Combine the strawberries and sugar in a small bowl. Use a fork to gently mash and mix them together until you have a sweet, chunky puree. Set this vibrant mixture aside to let the flavors meld.
- Sift the matcha powder into another small bowl to eliminate any lumps, ensuring a smooth drink. Add the cold water and whisk vigorously from side to side using a matcha whisk until the mixture is well combined and frothy.
- Layer the strawberries at the bottom of a tall glass. Fill it halfway with ice, then pour in enough almond milk to fill the glass two-thirds full. Lastly, top it off with the beautifully whisked matcha mixture.
- Stir everything together with a straw. Adjust the sweetness if desired by mixing in some maple syrup or honey.
Notes
For an extra refreshing treat, chill your glass beforehand. Optional: Garnish with a few whole strawberries on top for a pop of color.
