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.
