Chef's Pro-Tips
- Mise en Place: Measure and prep all ingredients before you turn on the stove. This recipe moves quickly, and having everything ready prevents burning.
- Fresh is Best: Whenever possible, use freshly squeezed lemon juice, whole garlic cloves, and fresh herbs instead of dried/jarred versions. The flavor difference is huge!
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Leave room between ingredients. If the pan is overloaded, the moisture will steam the food instead of browning it.

Sift the matcha powder into a bowl, pour in the warm water (176°F / 80°C), and whisk vigorously in a W-motion until frothy and smooth.
Assemble Layers
Add ice to the glass with the strawberries, pour in the milk, and slowly pour the whisked matcha on top to create beautiful, distinct layers.
