01 - Combine strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 30-60 seconds.
02 - Pour the strawberry puree evenly into popsicle molds, filling each mold approximately halfway. Place molds in the freezer for 30-45 minutes until just set but not completely frozen.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with hot water until smooth and completely dissolved, ensuring no lumps remain.
04 - Combine milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Whisk in the dissolved matcha mixture until fully incorporated and uniform in color.
05 - Gently pour the matcha latte mixture over the partially frozen strawberry layer in each mold, filling to the top. Avoid disturbing the strawberry base.
06 - Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely solid.
07 - To release popsicles, run the outside of molds briefly under warm water for 10-15 seconds. Gently pull sticks to remove from molds.
