Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 5 fresh strawberries, chopped up small after removing the tops (around ⅓ cup)
02 - 1 teaspoon of granulated cane sugar
03 - ½ to 1 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder
04 - ¼ cup chilled water
05 - Ice cubes
06 - ½ to 1 cup of almond milk
07 - Maple syrup or honey for optional sweetness, add as much as you like

# Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, toss together the chopped strawberries and sugar. Mash them gently with a fork until the mixture is combined. Put it aside for now.
02 - Sift the matcha powder into a fresh small bowl to get rid of any clumps. Pour in the water and whisk quickly using a matcha whisk, moving it from side to side until it’s all mixed and a bubbly foam starts forming on top.
03 - Scoop the strawberry sugar mix into the bottom of a tall glass. Add ice until it’s halfway full, then pour in almond milk until it reaches about two-thirds of the glass. Carefully pour the matcha mix on top.
04 - Grab a straw to mix it all together and give it a taste. If you want it sweeter, stir in a little maple syrup or honey until it tastes just right for you.
