Iced Strawberry Matcha
Serves 1
Strawberry Puree
300g strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp water
Matcha
1 tsp (2g) ceremonial grade matcha
¼ cup hot water
¼ cup strawberry puree
Ice
200mL milk of choice
- In a saucepan, add chopped strawberries, sugar and water. Place over a medium to low heat and stir until sugar has dissolved and fruit is beginning to soften – about 4 minutes.
- Remove from the stove and leave to cool for 10 minutes. Using a stick blender, puree to desired consistency. Pour into an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To make the strawberry matcha, sift matcha powder into a small bowl and top with hot water. Whisk for a minute or so until frothy.
- Add a quarter cup of strawberry puree into the base of a glass. Top with ice and milk of choice. Pour over matcha and serve.
