Ingredients
  

Strawberry Layer
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries If using frozen, let them sit for a few minutes to soften.
  • 1-2 tbsp sweetener (sugar, honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup) Adjust sweetness to taste.
Milk Layer
  • 1 cup milk (any type, e.g., dairy, oat, or almond) Oat milk is recommended for creaminess.
Matcha Layer
  • 1 tbsp matcha powder Use culinary grade or ceremonial style for best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup cold water Use cold water for a refreshing drink.
Miscellaneous
  • as needed cups ice Use plenty of ice to maintain layers.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Step 1: Make the strawberry layer by mashing strawberries with sweetener until juicy. Spoon into the bottom of your glass.
  2. Step 2: Add ice to the glass, filling it about halfway or two-thirds full.
  3. Step 3: Pour cold milk slowly over the ice, avoiding the strawberry layer to keep the layers clean.
  4. Step 4: In a small cup, whisk matcha powder with cold water until smooth and frothy.
  5. Step 5: Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the milk, preferably over ice or the back of a spoon.
  6. Step 6: Enjoy your drink layered, then stir for a mixed flavor.

Notes

Sift matcha to avoid clumps for a smoother texture. Use clear glasses to display layers beautifully. Pre-make the strawberry layer to save time if serving guests.
