Ingredients

  • 2g matcha powder
  • 200g frozen strawberries
  • 50g honey
  • 1/2 glass of ice
  • 150ml your choice of milk

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the frozen strawberries, honey, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until strawberries soften.
  2. Mash the strawberries with a fork and simmer for 10–15 minutes on a low heat until thickened. If you like a smooth syrup, strain through a fine mesh sieve, I left mine with some bigger pieces of strawberry and a jammy consistency.
  3. Let the syrup cool, then transfer to a jar. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
  4. Sift 2g of matcha powder to a bowl
  5. Add 30ml of 70°C water to the bowl with matcha and whisk in a W motion.
  6. Add strawberry syrup and ice to a glass.
  7. Pour over milk and top up with matcha tea.

Recipe questions

How long does the strawberry syrup keep?

Stored in a sealed jar in the fridge, the honey-sweetened strawberry syrup keeps for up to a week. One batch makes enough for several lattes.

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

Yes. Fresh strawberries work just as well for the syrup — frozen are simply cheaper and available year-round, and they break down a little faster when simmered.

Smooth or chunky syrup?

Both work. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve for a smooth, layered look, or leave some jammy strawberry pieces for texture like Holly does.
