Strawberry Matcha Latte Oat (Print)

A vibrant blend of strawberry, matcha, and creamy oat milk foam for a refreshing, dairy-free drink.

# Ingredients:

→ Strawberry Layer

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or maple syrup
03 - 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

→ Matcha Layer

04 - 2 teaspoons high-quality matcha powder
05 - 4 fluid ounces hot water at 175°F
06 - 1 to 2 tablespoons agave syrup or sweetener of choice, optional

→ Oat Milk Foam

07 - 1 cup barista-style oat milk
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup, optional

→ Assembly

10 - 1/2 cup ice cubes

# Instructions:

01 - Combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until strawberries soften and release their syrup. Cool slightly, then blend until smooth. Strain through fine mesh for refined texture if desired.
02 - Sift matcha powder into a bowl. Add hot water and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or milk frother until smooth and frothy. Sweeten with agave syrup if preferred.
03 - Heat oat milk gently without boiling. Whisk or froth with vanilla extract and maple syrup until thick, airy foam forms.
04 - Divide strawberry puree equally between two glasses. Add ice cubes to each. Slowly pour prepared matcha over strawberry layer. Top each glass with oat milk foam.
05 - Serve immediately with a straw. Stir before drinking to combine the layers.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • It's the kind of drink that makes your kitchen feel like a specialty coffee shop for exactly fifteen minutes.
  • Naturally vegan and genuinely delicious, so no one feels like they're missing out on anything.
  • The layers stay separated long enough to be Instagram-worthy, but blend into something even better when you actually drink it.
02 -
  • Whisking matcha is non-negotiable; if you just stir it with a spoon, you'll end up with grainy clumps floating around rather than that silky, frothy texture that makes it taste luxurious.
  • The temperature of your water matters more than you'd think—too hot and matcha turns bitter and metallic, too cool and it won't dissolve properly no matter how much you whisk.
03 -
  • Make the strawberry puree ahead of time; it keeps in the fridge for three days and makes mornings infinitely easier when you just want a fancy drink without the production.
  • If your oat milk won't foam, check the ingredient list—it needs to say barista-style or have emulsifiers; regular oat milk is too thin and will just separate into milk and bubbles.
