Tips for the Perfect Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte
- Choose Quality Matcha: Opt for ceremonial-grade matcha for optimal flavor. Brands like Golde matcha and Matcha Kari matcha are highly recommended.
- Frozen Berries: If fresh strawberries aren’t available, frozen berries work just as well—just thaw them beforehand.
- Adjust Sweetness: Add sugar to taste, but check your matcha for any added sweetness first.
