Cafe Quality at Home - As a former barista (shoutout the The Coffee Beanery!), I take my lattes seriously so this matcha latte with strawberry syrup is even better than what you could order from Starbucks or Dunkin, especially because you have 100% control over the ingredients.

How to Make a Strawberry Matcha Tea Latte
Step One: Dissolve the matcha powder in hot water.
Step Two: Use a frothing wand (aka electric whisk) to mix the strawberry syrup and milk and make the mixture foamy.
Pro Tip #1: You can use a bamboo whisk, frothing wand, or even a fork to mix up the matcha and water.
Pro Tip #2: If you don't have a frothing wand, add the milk and syrup to a blender and pulse to combine and create fluffy texture.
Step Three: Pour the strawberry milk into a glass over ice.
Step Four: Pour in the matcha. Two distinct layers of strawberry foam and strawberry milk match will form because of the different textures.
Frequently Asked Questions
To keep the fluffy strawberry milk foam intact, I don't recommend making this drink more than 15 minutes ahead of time for the best results.
