iced matcha latte

12oz size cup · 6g matcha · 220ml milk · 100g ice

See steps

Place a sieve over your mixing bowl or jug and mindfully add 6g of matcha
Press powder through the sieve with a circular motion
Add 60ml milk to the matcha powder
Use an electric frother for ~5 seconds to aerate and incorporate
Whisk with a bamboo whisk in a “W” motion to remove clumps and create a creamy, slightly thick texture
Add ice and 160ml of milk to your serving glass
Pour matcha mixture slowly over the ice to create a layered effect (ice acts as a natural barrier)
Serve with a spoon or straw

Hot tip: Pour the matcha in front of the customer for a share-worthy moment — it’s free social media exposure

strawberry matcha latte

12oz size cup · 6g matcha · 220ml milk · 80g strawberry jam · 100g ice

Make the jam (batch prep)

Use a 1:3 ratio — 100g freeze-dried strawberries to 300g water
Blend until smooth with no visible chunks
Store in a squeeze bottle and refrigerate

We recommend using DJ&A Freeze-Dried Strawberries — available at Woolworths, Costco, and other retailers. It’s slightly sweetened and balances matcha beautifully with no added sugar needed.

See steps

Squeeze 80g of strawberry jam into the bottom of your serving cup
In a mixing bowl or jug, sieve 6g of matcha
Add 60ml of milk, then use an electric frother for ~5 seconds to aerate and mix
Whisk with a bamboo whisk in a “W” motion until smooth and slightly thick
Fill serving cup with ice and 160ml of milk, layering it over the strawberry jam
Slowly pour the matcha mixture on top of the ice to form a distinct third layer
Serve with a spoon or straw
