Ingredients
- 2g matcha powder
- 200g frozen strawberries
- 50g honey
- 1/2 glass of ice
- 150ml your choice of milk
Directions
- In a small saucepan, combine the frozen strawberries, honey, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until strawberries soften.
- 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.
- Let the syrup cool, then transfer to a jar. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
- Sift 2g of matcha powder to a bowl
- Add 30ml of 70°C water to the bowl with matcha and whisk in a W motion.
- Add strawberry syrup and ice to a glass.
- 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.
