Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte with Chill Pill Herbal Honey
This one's kind of like sipping on a summer garden in bloom. The earthy, grassy depth of matcha meets a dreamy, creamy sweet cloud of strawberry milk sweetened with a spoonful of Chill Pill Herbal Honey laced with hibiscus and lavender.
It's botanical, it's beautiful, and it genuinely makes you feel like you've got your life together in a real adult kind of way.
What is Matcha?
Matcha is a finely powdered green tea from the Camellia sinensis plant, shade-grown before harvest to boost its chlorophyll, antioxidants, and that signature vibrant green color.
When you drink matcha, you're consuming the whole leaf, not just a steep. That means more of the good stuff in every sip: antioxidants, a calm, steady caffeine lift, and anti-inflammatory compounds that your body will quietly thank you for.
For lattes, ceremonial-grade matcha is our pick. It's finer, smoother, and doesn't get bitter.

Meet the Herbs in Chill Pill
This latte gets its flavor (and its magic) from oh-so-sweet fresh strawberries sweetened with Chill Pill Herbal Honey, a jewel-toned, sweet-tart honey blended with four calming botanicals for daily nervous system support.
Lavender (L. angustifolia) - Floral, calming, and well-loved for its ability to ease tension, support restful sleep, and take the edge off a busy mind.
Hibiscus (H. sabdariffa) - Hibiscus brings that gorgeous blush color and a citrusy depth of flavor, along with antioxidant support and a gentle cooling energy.
Tulsi (O. africanum) - An adaptogen revered in Ayurvedic tradition for helping the body navigate stress with a little more grace.
Ashwagandha (W. somnifera) - A powerhouse adaptogen used to support resilience, calm the nervous system, and restore a sense of steadiness.
Together, the four herbs enveloped in a luscious raw, enzyme-rich honey make a spoonful that not just delicious, but genuinely working to support your wellness.

How To Make An Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte with Chill Pill Herbal Honey
This colorful layered latte is an ultra refreshing way to enjoy strawberry season. Instead of stirring the layers together, I really love to sip this latte through a straw, moving my straw up and down as I sip (like a psychopath), to fully experience the rich, earthiness of the matcha in contrast to the sweet strawberry milk.
Note: If you're a matcha purist, kindly look away. This recipe forgoes the traditional matcha-making techniques for ease, however, if you're equipped with a matcha bowl and whisk, by all means, whisk away.
Ingredients:
- 1 heaping teaspoon ceremonial-grade matcha
- 3 tablespoons hot water (just under boiling)
- 1 cup milk of choice, divided
- 4-6 fresh, sweet strawberries, greens removed
- 1-2 tablespoons Chill Pill Herbal Honey, to taste
- 1 cup ice
Instructions:
- Make the Matcha: Sift matcha into your mug (or your matcha bowl, if using). Pour in 3 tablespoons hot water and use your milk frother (or matcha whisk) to mix until fully incorporated and smooth. Set aside.
- Make the Strawberry Milk: To your blender, add the strawberries, 1/2 cup milk, and Chill Pill Herbal Honey. Blend together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Assemble: To your drinking glass, add the ice and remaining 1/2 cup milk to your drinking glass. Pour the prepared matcha over the milk and ice and give a quick stir. Top with the strawberry milk. Garnish with sliced strawberries if desired. Either gently swirl to incorporate the layers or sip as is and let the sweet-earthy contrast do its thing.
