Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar (or honey), cardamom pods, and water.
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are very soft and the mixture is syrupy.
Remove from heat.
Option 1 (quick method): Remove the cardamom pods and blend until smooth.
Option 2 (more preferred method): Let the mixture cool completely with the cardamom pods still in it to deepen the flavor, then remove pods and blend.
Transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Should make 2-3 lattes depending on how much syrup you use.
To assemble the latte - in a small cup, whisk the matcha powder with 3-4 tablespoons hot water until smooth and lump-free.
Add ice to a glass. Pour in the milk and vanilla syrup (if using), then add the prepared matcha. Stir gently to combine.
In a small cup, combine the half-and-half and strawberry syrup. Use a handheld frother (or shake in a jar) until thick and creamy.
Spoon or pour the strawberry cold foam over the matcha latte. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Use dairy-free milk and creamer if preferred. Adjust syrup to taste depending on how sweet you like your drinks.
