Recipe for strawberry ICE MATCHA LATTE

There are days when you need something cool, fresh and beautiful — something that will put you in a summer mood even when you're in the middle of work or just back from training. A drink that looks like it came from a café, but you can make it in three minutes in your own kitchen. Strawberry ice matcha latte is exactly that: a combination of fruity sweetness, creamy plant-based milk and energising matcha. Delicate, summery, elegant — and exceptionally photogenic.

Colourful layers that tell their own story

This is one of those drinks that impresses you even before you try it. A juicy red layer of strawberries, topped with a milky middle layer and an intense green matcha on top, creates an effect that looks like a small artistic composition in a glass. This drink makes you slow down immediately: you sit down, take your first sip and feel how pleasantly refreshing it is. Perfect for mornings, afternoons and all those moments when you want to boost your energy in a nice way.

Why is it worth making?

Because it is one of the simplest, tastiest and most refreshing drinks you can make with matcha. Strawberries add freshness, milk provides a creamy base, and matcha brings depth and a subtle, slightly herbal flavour. It's a great alternative to coffee when you want a boost, but in a more delicate, elegant form. And the preparation process itself — quick, intuitive and enjoyable — makes you want to come back to this recipe again and again.

Ingredients

• 50 g fresh or defrosted strawberries
• 1 teaspoon xylitol
• 200 ml plant-based drink or milk
• 1 teaspoon ALLNATURE matcha
• 50 ml hot water (approx. 70–80°C)

Preparation

Mash the strawberries with a fork or blend them, then mix them with xylitol until you get a smooth mousse with an intense colour and aroma.

In a separate bowl, mix the matcha with hot water, using a small whisk or stirring vigorously to avoid lumps. Pour the strawberry mousse into a tall glass, add ice cubes and pour in the plant-based drink or milk — you can froth it beforehand for a creamier consistency.

Finally, slowly pour in the prepared matcha, which will create an impressive green layer on top. Serve immediately.

Why are these drinks becoming increasingly popular?

Because they combine simplicity with a small dose of pleasure — you can make them at home faster than it takes to queue at a café, and they look like professional summer lattes. They are refreshing, light and stimulate you in a more subtle way than classic coffee. What's more, everyone can tailor them to their own taste — sweetness, milk, proportions, additives — it all depends on your mood.
