Strawberry Matcha Latte (Asian Tea) - COFFEE BREAK SERIES - Honeysuckle

I'm head over heels for this new Milk Tea drink I tried recently in San Francisco. It's the Strawberry Matcha Latte. It was an amazing blend of strawberry sauce, strong matcha green tea flavor, and a nice helping of almond jelly. So I wanted to share something similar with you! I think you're gonna love it!

Strawberry Matcha Recipe:

Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp high quality Matcha powder
- 1/3 cup boiling hot water (for the Tea)
- Ice
- 1/2 cup whole milk

Preparation:
First I start by making a strawberry compote. In a small saucepan, i'm adding 2 cups of freshly chopped strawberries, stemmed and quartered. Fresh strawberries are the sweetest when they are in season, but if they aren't, i prefer to use frozen strawberries because they're picked and frozen at its peak. I'll add in 2 tbsps of sugar and 2 tbsps of water. I'll cook them down on medium heat, stirring every so often until the strawberries are soft and the sauce is nice and syrupy. This will take about 10 minutes. Once it's done, i'll give it a good mash to make sure we don't have any chunky bits. Then I'll set it aside to cool. The leftover can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Next i'll make my matcha green tea mixture. It's no secret that matcha green tea is one of my favorite ingredients. It's basically finely ground powdered green tea powder.
A lot of you have asked in my other matcha recipes - where can I get it and what should I look for? I really love matcha green tea like this one that's made in Japan. That's where matcha originated so they have the highest quality teas.

I'm adding 1 tsp of matcha powder to my bowl along with 1/3 cup of boiling hot water. Using my bamboo whisk, i'll whisk it vigorously until the tea becomes nice and frothy.

Now mix it all together. For boba lovers out there, you can start by adding tapioca pearls but I love grass jelly so that's what I'm going to use. Next i'll add in ¼ cup of the strawberry compote, then filling the rest of my glass with ice. Then I'll add a layer of whole milk until it reaches ⅔ of the way up and finally topping it off with my matcha green tea.
