A Perfect Pairing with Other Types of Milk or Fruit
Feeling adventurous?
Experiment with different types of milk to find the flavor profile you like the best. Whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk all add their own unique personality to the overall taste.
Feeling tropical?
Our favorite is the classic strawberry, but be free to swap them out for peaches or even pineapple! The sweetened matcha powder blends well with tart fruits for a summertime match made in heaven.
Regardless of how you mix it, the iced strawberry matcha latte shakes out to be a healthful gift for your body, mind, and soul.
