Notes

You'll need a mini bullet blender for this recipe.
Use high quality matcha like ceremonial grade Japanese matcha for a smooth, less bitter flavor.
Be sure to sweeten with pure maple syrup and adjust the amount based on the natural sweetness of your strawberries. Agave can be used as a substitute.
If you're batching this recipe, store any leftover strawberry milk or matcha tea separately in an airtight container (like a mason jar) in the fridge.
If you love experimenting, try making this with a mixture of strawberry and banana or strawberry and mango.
