The Viral Aesthetic: How to Make a Strawberry Matcha Latte

The Internet’s Favorite Flavor Pairing
If you scroll through TikTok or Instagram, the “Strawberry Matcha Latte” dominates the cafe space. The visual appeal of the bright green matcha floating over a base of pastel pink strawberry milk is undeniable. More importantly, the flavor profile is flawless: the tart sweetness of the berry perfectly balances the earthy, grassy umami of the green tea.

The Problem with Fruit Purees
Most online tutorials require you to boil fresh strawberries into a sticky compote or jam to put at the bottom of the glass. Not only is this incredibly messy, but the thick jam often clogs your straw and refuses to mix evenly into the milk. Muse Strawberry and Basil Syrup completely solves this. It delivers the intense flavor of fresh strawberries with a sophisticated hint of basil, blending perfectly into cold milk without any chunky residue.

The Layered Recipe
To achieve the perfect tri-color presentation, you must respect the density of the liquids. Start by pumping one tablespoon (two pumps) of Muse Strawberry & Basil Syrup into the bottom of a tall glass. Fill the glass to the brim with ice cubes. Slowly pour in six ounces of cold oat milk or whole milk. Finally, whisk one teaspoon of Matcha Glow ceremonial powder with two ounces of warm water until frothy. Gently pour the warm matcha directly over an ice cube so it floats on top of the milk, creating a flawless layered aesthetic.
