Cooking steps
-
1
Sift 1.5 tsp matcha powder into a small bowl to remove clumps—this helps ensure that silky-smooth Dunkin' texture.
-
2
Add 2 tbsp strawberry syrup and 1 tbsp simple syrup to the bottom of a tall glass. Fill the glass halfway with 1.5 cups ice.
-
3
Heat 1 cup whole milk until just warm (not boiling, about 120°F), then vigorously whisk in the sifted matcha until completely dissolved and frothy. Dunkin' tip: Whisking by hand replicates the velvety consistency of their lattes.

Pour the matcha milk slowly over the ice and strawberry syrup to create beautiful layers. For a classic Dunkin' look, don't stir right away.

Drizzle 0.25 tsp vanilla extract over the top before serving. Stir to combine just before drinking and enjoy immediately for the freshest café-style experience!
Personalized Q&A
Q. Does this actually taste like Dunkin'?
Yes! By using culinary grade matcha, homemade (or store-bought) strawberry syrup, and layered assembly with ice, this DIY version closely matches Dunkin’s sweet, fruity, and creamy profile. Whisking the matcha into warmed milk is the secret to the same smoothness you get at Dunkin’. Stir before drinking for that even flavor classic!
Q. Do I need special equipment for this?
No special equipment is required. You can sift the matcha with a fine-mesh sieve and whisk it into milk using a regular whisk or even a fork—no frother or barista tools needed. Just a tall glass and a whisk will do!
Q. Can I make this with plant-based milk or adjust the sweetness?
Absolutely! Substitute whole milk with oat, almond, or soy milk for a dairy-free version. Adjust sweetness by using more or less simple syrup or strawberry syrup to suit your taste. For less caffeine, use less matcha powder.
