Mixing the Matcha
  1. In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with a few tablespoons of hot water until smooth and frothy.
  2. Add your choice of milk to the matcha mixture and heat it gently on the stovetop or use a milk frother if you like it frothy.

  2. Follow with the matcha-milk mixture.
  3. For a warm version, pour the strawberry purée into a mug followed by the matcha mixture.
