How to Make a Strawberry Milk Matcha Latte
-
Prepare the Matcha: In a small bowl, sift in the matcha powder. Add hot water and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or milk frother until slightly foamy. Mix in the sweetener while it's still warm.
-
Blend the Strawberries: In a small blender, combine the strawberries, Thai Coco’s Coconut Milk, and sweetener. Blend for 5-10 seconds until the mixture is smooth and resembles melted ice cream.
-
Fill the Glass: Fill a glass about 3/4 full with ice. Pour the blended strawberry mixture into the glass, allowing it to settle at the bottom.
-
Layer and Serve: Gently pour the prepared matcha over the strawberry layer, creating a beautiful gradient effect. For the finishing touch, gently pour a small amount of coconut milk on top, if desired. Enjoy your Strawberry Milk Matcha Latte!
Why Do People Like Strawberry Milk Matcha Latte?
People enjoy strawberry matcha for several reasons:

- Nutritional Benefits: Both strawberries and matcha are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, making this drink a healthy choice. Strawberries provide vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, while matcha contains catechins that promote heart health and may aid in weight loss.

Is It OK If I Drink A Strawberry Milk Matcha Latte Every Day?
It is generally safe to enjoy a latte daily. Matcha can boost energy levels, improve focus, and support overall health, while coconut milk adds creaminess and nutritional benefits. However, moderation is key, as matcha contains caffeine. It’s best to limit your intake to 1-2 glasses per day to avoid potential side effects like insomnia or digestive issues. With this balanced approach, you can savor the delicious flavors and reap the health benefits of this indulgent beverage every day.
