How to make iced strawberry matcha latte

We made the viral iced strawberry matcha latte for the T2 office - and the reviews came back glowing. Our Buyers Assistant even said she, “will make making it every single day this summer”.
Find the two part recipe below, perfected by our in-house sommelier. It's the best recipe we've tasted, as voted by our very humble team.

It's creamy, sweet and takes techniques used to make traditional matcha. Make it at any time of the day, but from the first-hand experience of the T2 team, it's especially nice on a sunny afternoon when you need a refreshing energy boost. Enjoy!

Brew tip from our tea sommelier

If you're short on time or don't have any strawberries at home, skip part one and use strawberry jam instead of the syrup. This is will be bit sweeter than our syrup recipe, but equally delicious.
“When shopping for strawberries, go for your juiciest and softest option. These will look bright red, and almost too soft to eat – but trust us, they are perfect for this recipe. These will give you the sweetest tasting latte. If strawberries are not in season, try substituting with frozen strawberries.”
The strawberry syrup keeps refrigerated for 3-4 days or freezes well for 3 months (tip: freeze in an ice cube tray for easy portioned defrosting later).
Use a ceremonial-grade matcha, like the T2 Certified Organic Matcha Powder, and your iced latte will be a bright green with a fresh, non-bitter taste.
For an extra special and creamy finish, foam your milk.
