Strawberry Matcha Latte

1

Wash, hull and finely chop your fresh strawberries, add them to a small bowl with the salt and honey. Mash with a fork or mortar and pestle until smooth, (some chunks are okay). Set aside to macerate while you prepare the matcha.

2

Mix the water and matcha together with a matcha whisk or shake vigorously in a small jar to suspend the green tea. The tea is ready when it appears frothy.

3

Add your strawberries to the bottom of your glass, top with ice, then milk of choice and finally the prepared matcha. Garnish with fresh strawberries and serve immediately.

Notes: Any leftover strawberry compote can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Use whichever milk you please, I find unsweetened coconut or cashew work best. If using sweetened milk, adjust the amount of honey in the strawberries to your liking. When buying matcha look for a bright, lustrous green. Dull olive or brown hues indicate low chlorophyll content or oxidation. The matcha should also have a vibrant, vegetal fragrance and be a fine consistency like corn starch.
