Serves: 1
Time: 5 minutes + cooling time

Enjoy our take on the viral strawberry matcha. It’s not just a pretty drink - it's packed with antioxidants and provides a clean, sustained energy boost without the dreaded afternoon crash. Matcha is an ideal morning drink because it’s rich in caffeine to give you that energy lift, but it also contains amino acids like L-theanine, which promote relaxation and focus. This balance makes it an amazing alternative to coffee, offering the perfect way to start your day feeling both energised and calm.

Ingredients

6 strawberries, halved
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon Organic Matcha Powder

Method

  1. In a small skillet, heat strawberries, honey and lemon juice over medium heat. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes until the strawberries soften and release their juices. If you prefer some texture, leave the strawberry mixture as is with small chunks. For a smoother option, blend the mixture until silky and smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator to cool.
  2. In a small bowl, add our Organic Matcha Powder and 4 tablespoons of boiling water. Using our Bamboo Matcha Whisk, whisk vigorously until all lumps are smooth and the matcha is blended well.
  3. Pour strawberry mixture into a large glass. Add a handful of ice cubes and pour over coconut milk. Pour matcha over the milk and enjoy!
