Instructions

Blend strawberries with sugar or honey until smooth. Optionally, simmer for 5–7 minutes in a small saucepan to thicken slightly, then let cool.
Whisk matcha powder with hot water until smooth and frothy.
Spoon strawberry purée into the bottom of a glass.
Add ice cubes on top of the strawberry layer.
Slowly pour in milk over the ice to create the second layer.
Gently pour the prepared matcha over the milk for the top layer.
Stir before drinking and enjoy.
