- matcha whisk

Ingredients
For the Strawberry Mixture
- 5 pieces fresh strawberries hulled and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cane sugar adjust to taste
For the Matcha
- 0.5 to 1 teaspoon matcha powder ceremonial grade for best results

Instructions
Instructions
- Combine the strawberries and sugar in a small bowl. Use a fork to mash them gently as you mix; let the sweetness of the sugar infuse the strawberries. Set this flavorful mixture aside to allow the juices to meld, about 5 minutes.
- Sift the matcha powder into another small bowl to eliminate any lumps. Add the cold water and use a matcha whisk to vigorously whisk from side to side, creating a beautiful, foamy layer on top.
- Layer the strawberries into the bottom of a tall glass. Fill the glass halfway with ice, then pour in the almond milk until it's about two-thirds full, allowing room for that frothy matcha on top.
- Top your glass with the whisked matcha mixture, letting it cascade over the almond milk. Stir gently to combine the layers just before sipping; taste and adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey as desired.
- Optional: For an extra touch, garnish with a strawberry slice on the rim of the glass.
Notes
Serve immediately after preparation for the best flavor and texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
