# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in just 10 minutes with no cooking required
  • Beautiful layered presentation that's Instagram-worthy
  • Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and fresh fruit
  • Packed with antioxidants from matcha and strawberries
  • Completely vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free
  • Customizable sweetness and milk base to suit your taste
02 -
  • Use unsweetened coconut milk from a carton, not canned coconut milk, which is too thick and rich for this drink
  • A bamboo matcha whisk creates the smoothest, most frothy matcha, but an electric milk frother works great too
  • Taste your strawberry purée before assembling—add more maple syrup if your berries aren't very sweet
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before assembling for an extra-cold drink
  • Always check product labels for cross-contamination if you have severe allergies, especially for gluten and dairy
  • Store leftover strawberry purée in the fridge for up to 2 days and use it in smoothies or on yogurt
