60 ml hot water (75°C, not boiling)
-
1–2 tbsp strawberry dessert or sundae sauce (to taste)
-
200 ml cold milk (dairy, oat, or coconut)

Ice cubes

-
Fine sieve

Matcha bowl or small mixing bowl

Tall serving glass
Method
1. Prepare the matcha
Sift the matcha into a bowl to remove any clumps. Add hot water heated to 75°C and whisk in a zigzag motion until smooth and lightly frothy. This ensures a creamy texture and preserves the matcha’s delicate flavour.
2. Create the strawberry base
Add the strawberry sauce to the bottom of a tall glass. Adjust the amount depending on desired sweetness.
3. Add milk and ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour in the cold milk to form a creamy base.
4. Assemble and serve
Slowly pour the prepared matcha over the milk for a layered presentation. Stir gently before drinking and enjoy immediately.
Serving Tip
For a richer flavour, use coconut or oat milk. For a less sweet drink, reduce the strawberry sauce to 1 tablespoon.
