Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte
Inspired by techniques from NYT Cooking.
A summery take on the latte: mashed sweet strawberries at the bottom, cold milk in the middle and a vivid float of whisked matcha on top, which you stir together as you drink.

EU nutrition claims
- Source of protein: 4.3 g protein per 100 kcal, about 17% of energy (needs ≥ 12%)
- Low salt: 0.08 g salt per 100 ml (limit ≤ 0.3 g)
Per 100 ml of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 291 ml a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
Caffeine · Free sugars
- Per serving (1 glass (1 tsp matcha)): no approved value. USDA SR Legacy and Ciqual have no caffeine value for matcha powder. Matcha is the whole ground leaf, so a serving has more caffeine than a cup of brewed green tea (about 29 mg).
- General guideline: EFSA Scientific Opinion on the safety of caffeine (2015): for healthy adults, up to 200 mg in a single dose and up to 400 mg per day do not raise safety concerns. EFSA

Free sugars under 50 g a day, ideally about 25 g, based on WHO free-sugar guidance (not endorsed by WHO). The share shown is the share of one serving. WHO
