Matcha Latte
- 1 tablespoon Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder

- Assemble the latte: Pour the prepared strawberry syrup into the bottom of a glass. Fill the glass with ice to your preference.
- Add milk and matcha: Pour in the milk of choice carefully over the ice and then add the whisked matcha on top.
- Final touch and serve: Add extra ice if desired. Stir gently to swirl the flavors together before serving and enjoy your refreshing iced strawberry matcha latte.
