2. Make the Strawberry Layer

• Blend fresh or thawed strawberries into a smooth puree using a blender.

• If you don’t have a blender, mash the strawberries with a fork or masher until you achieve a puree-like consistency.

• Pour the puree into the bottom of your serving glass, filling about one-third of the glass.

• Add ice to the glass to keep the drink cold. If using boba, place it at the bottom of the glass before adding the strawberry puree.

3. Add the Milk

• Gently pour your milk of choice over the strawberry layer, filling the glass until it’s about two-thirds full.

• Both dairy and plant-based milk work well, so choose your favorite.

• Slowly pour the prepared matcha over the back of a spoon held just above the milk layer.

• This technique helps create a clean, defined layer. Avoid stirring to preserve the beautiful layers.

5. Garnish and Serve

• Finish the drink by garnishing with fresh strawberry slices or a whole strawberry on the rim of the glass.

• Serve immediately and enjoy your beautifully layered strawberry matcha latte!
