Love matcha lattes but want to skip the coffee shop prices? This homemade Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte is a delicious, refreshing twist on the popular Starbucks drink—but even better because you can customize the sweetness, milk, and quality of ingredients!
For over a year now I have tried to become a macha drinker, but I just couldn’t get past the flavor. But a few weeks ago while perusing Pinterest with my niece I came across a photo that was a pink colored milk in the bottom of a glass with a macha colored beverage being poured on top. There was no info under it but I assumed it was some type of Iced Strawberry Macha Latte and I could not stop thinking about it. I even went as far as to create a thinner Strawberry Jam that I could use for this particular drink.
Finally everything came together and I made the drink I had been thinking about for weeks and I fell in love. It is better than any other macha drink I’ve had so far and I’m so excited for you to try it!
