Ingredients

2 tbsp Strawberry jam or compote (preferred, see notes for recipe) or syrup of choice (see notes)
170 ml milk of choice
4 g matcha
60 g water

Instructions

In an 16 oz glass, add 2 tbsp homemade strawberry compote, store-bought strawberry jam, or simple syrup (see notes).
Add ice to the glass so that it is about 3/4 full. Gently pour in your milk of choice.
Sift 4 grams of match into a matcha bowl. Add 1 tbsp room temp water to the bowl and use your matcha whisk to mix the water and match powder into a thick paste. Add 3 tablespoons of warm water to the paste and whisk briskly in a z or w motion, making sure to go around the sides every so often to ensure all the matcha powder is whisked up.
Pour the whisked matcha into the glass. Add a straw, stir, and enjoy!

Notes

If making a regular matcha latte, you can use anything you like for sweetener: honey, maple syrup, simple syrup, or even flavored syrups. How much you add is up to your preferred sweetness level. Start with 1-2 teaspoons and go from there. You can always add more sweetener at the end, but you can’t take sweetener away.

Strawberry Compote
makes about 2 cups
prep: 5 minutes
cook: 15 minutes

1 lb ripe strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

In a small pot, add the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries start to breakdown, about 10-15 minutes. Lightly smash the berries to break them up. Remove from the heat and let cool completely before placing in an air tight container. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
