I'm a big matcha person and always on the lookout for ways to elevate my afternoon pick-me-up. That's why I'm super excited to share my latest creation with you: the cannabis-infused iced Strawberry Matcha Latte Recipe.
Get ready for a flavour explosion as we blend the timeless charm of matcha with a refreshing strawberry twist—it's pure magic in a glass! But before we dive into making this enchanting latte, let's take a quick journey into the laid-back history of matcha—a centuries-old tradition that keeps us coming back for more.
What is Matcha?
Matcha has been wowing taste buds for centuries in Japan, where it first appeared as a part of traditional tea ceremonies. This vibrant green powder is made by grinding shade-grown green tea leaves, packing it with a concentrated burst of nutrients.
Now, let's talk about its health perks! Packed with antioxidants, matcha is a true superfood that boosts our immune system and promotes overall well-being. Plus, it contains L-theanine, a natural amino acid that provides calm and focused energy without the jitters. So, not only does matcha taste amazing, but it's also a fantastic addition to your daily routine to keep you feeling fantastic both inside and out!

Ingredient Preferences and Substitutions
I recommend using fresh strawberries if possible.
I like using nut milk for this recipe. I tried using cow's milk and the taste didn’t pair well.
Honey, maple syrup, or date syrup are great natural sweeteners that add can add lots of depth and flavour to this drink.
Highly recommend using ceremonial grade matcha vs culinary grade. The taste is much more robust and flavourful. It is more expensive, but worth it in my opinion.
Tips for Success
Using a food processor is going to be the best way to make a smooth puree.
The fork method can be a bit tricky, another thing you can do is put cut-up strawberries into a zip-lock bag and smash it with the bottom of a bottle.
Make sure your hot water is below 170F. Anything hotter I find that it can burn the matcha and alter the taste of your matcha.
