Tips and Tricks

Use good quality matcha for the best flavour and taste. If you prefer a "smoother" strawberry layer,  blend until smooth. Use a liquid-based sweetener if blending the strawberry layer in a blender (or food processor) to make sure it dissolves. If using the saucepan method, you can use a solid-sweetener such as sugar.
