How to Make Your Own Strawberry Matcha Drink at Home
A strawberry matcha drink is the perfect balance of calm and comfort—earthy matcha paired with naturally sweet, creamy strawberry. It looks beautiful, tastes indulgent, and can easily become a gentle daily ritual rather than a café-only treat.
The best part? You can make it at home with just a few simple ingredients—and adjust it to suit your body and your preferences.
Why Strawberry + Matcha Works
Matcha offers steady energy and focus, while strawberries add brightness and natural sweetness. Together, they create a drink that feels grounding without being heavy—ideal for slow mornings or afternoon resets.
This version keeps things basic, approachable, and flexible—no special equipment required.
Simple Strawberry Matcha Recipe
Ingredients
For the strawberry layer:
3–4 fresh strawberries, hulled
1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
1–2 tablespoons water or milk of choice
For the matcha layer:
1 teaspoon ceremonial or culinary-grade matcha
6–8 oz warm (not boiling) water
Milk of choice (oat, almond, or coconut work well)
Ice (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Strawberry Base
Blend or mash the strawberries with your sweetener and a splash of liquid until smooth.
Pour this into the bottom of your glass.
2. Prepare the Matcha
Sift the matcha into a bowl or mug to avoid clumps.
Add warm water and whisk (or stir vigorously) until smooth and slightly frothy.
3. Assemble the Drink
Add ice (if using) and milk over the strawberry layer.
Slowly pour the matcha on top for a layered effect, or stir everything together for a soft pink drink.
Make It Your Own
Creamier: Use coconut milk or oat milk
Less sweet: Skip added sweetener and rely on ripe strawberries
Warmer: Skip ice and gently heat the milk
Gentler: Use half the matcha for a lower-caffeine version
Wellness doesn’t have to be exact—let your body guide the ratios.
A Simple Wellness Ritual
Instead of rushing through it, try turning this drink into a small pause:
Sip it near a window
Take a few slow breaths before starting your day
Let the act of making it be part of the care
Sometimes wellness is just choosing something nourishing—and enjoying it fully.
