Strawberry Matcha Recipe
For the last week, I’ve been opening my kitchen windows to hear the morning birds chirping. The air is still crisp but with a touch of warmth on the horizon, which tells me Spring is just around the corner! And this Strawberry Matcha recipe with a homemade strawberry syrup is the best way to begin all your Spring baking.
Ingredients you’ll need:
- strawberries, fresh or frozen
- matcha powder
- water
- milk
- sugar
- ice
How to Make the Perfect Matcha:
A perfect matcha begins with the matcha itself. You want to use a quality matcha powder, and you want to whisk it properly so that it creates a foamy, frothy layer on top. For this, I highly recommend a small investment into a matcha whisk.
When whisking, I like to think of the M & Z’s concept. So you are whisking briskly from side to side (making a “Z”) and then up to down (making a “M”). Repeat that cycle until that frothiness begins to form.
Here’s the Amazon Matcha Set I use and absolutely love it!

Strawberry Matcha
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh Strawberries or frozen and thawed
- 3/4 cup Granulated Cane Sugar
- 1 cup + 1/4 cup Water divide
- 1 tsp. Matcha
- 1/2 cup Milk of choice
Instructions
- Trim the stems off the strawberries and slice in half, then add to a large saucepan. Add in the 1 cup water and sugar. Stir to combine before placing over medium high heat.
- Bring the water to a boil, then simmer for 8-10 minutes. Let cool 5-10 minutes before either straining or blending until smooth.
- Place in a glass container to store in the fridge up to 2 weeks, or 1 week if blending with the strawberries.
- To make the matches, add 1/4 cup of the strawberry syrup to the bottom of a large glass. Fill the glass with ice.
- Add the whole milk on top.
- Shift the match into a large mug or whisk to get rid of any lumps. Pour in the 1/4 cup HOT water and use a matcha whisk to whisk briskly from side to side, then up and down, until a frothy layer forms on top.
- Pour the frothy matcha on top of the whole milk.
- Stir with a glass straw to combine and enjoy!

Wow — what a fresh and fun way to enjoy matcha! I love how you turn humble strawberries into a vibrant syrup and layer it with frothy matcha. This recipe feels perfect for brightening up a morning or afternoon. I can’t wait to try it and maybe drizzle a little extra syrup to balance the matcha’s earthiness.
