Matcha latte is such a versatile drink: you can drink it both cold and hot and there are many different flavor combinations possible.
In the spring and summer, a matcha latte is wonderfully refreshing with lots of ice and you can opt for summer flavors.
To give you some inspiration, I made three different lattes with strawberry, cherry and pineapple. Literally summer in your glass! :-)
What do you need?
(For 3 glasses)
Accessories:
- A milk frother
- A cocktail masher
- Bamboo beater (chasen)
Ingredients:
- 6 teaspoons of matcha powder
- 600 ml milk (you can choose vegetable or animal here) I used almond milk.
- A handful of strawberries, cherries and pineapple.
- 90 ml of cold water
- Ice cubes
How do you make these matcha lattes with summer fruits?
- Prepare 3 glasses (if you want to make 3 different lattes.)
- Make a cold matcha shot by whisking 6 teaspoons of matcha powder in 90 ml of cold water. You use the bamboo beater for this, so that no chunks are left behind.
- Then froth 600 ml of cold milk.
- Put the strawberries in a glass, the cherries (seedless) in the second glass and pineapple chunks in the third glass. Tamp the fruit and make sure there is a layer of about 2 cm. This forms the bottom layer and must therefore be 'firm' and nicely evenly distributed.
- Then add ice cubes to each glass and pour the cold milk on top.
- Pour the cold matcha on the milk foam.
Wonderfully refreshing, healthy and an original summer drink.
Enjoy!
