Iced Strawberry Matcha

Serves 1

Strawberry Puree

300g strawberries, hulled and finely chopped

2 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp water

Matcha

1 tsp (2g) ceremonial grade matcha

¼ cup hot water

¼ cup strawberry puree

Ice

200mL milk of choice

1. In a saucepan, add chopped strawberries, sugar and water. Place over a medium to low heat and stir until sugar has dissolved and fruit is beginning to soften – about 4 minutes.
2. Remove from the stove and leave to cool for 10 minutes. Using a stick blender, puree to desired consistency. Pour into an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
3. To make the strawberry matcha, sift matcha powder into a small bowl and top with hot water. Whisk for a minute or so until frothy.
4. Add a quarter cup of strawberry puree into the base of a glass. Top with ice and milk of choice. Pour over matcha and serve.
