Strawberry Matcha Latte Oat (Printable Version)

A refreshing blend of strawberry, matcha, and oat milk foam offering a creamy, dairy-free treat.

# Ingredient List:

→ Strawberry Layer

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
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 - ½ cup ice cubes

# How to Make:

01 - Combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until strawberries soften and release their syrup. Allow to 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 at 175°F and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or milk frother until completely smooth and frothy. Sweeten with agave syrup if preferred.
03 - Gently heat oat milk without allowing it to boil. Whisk or froth with vanilla extract and maple syrup until thick, voluminous foam forms.
04 - Divide strawberry puree equally between two glasses. Add ice cubes to each glass. Slowly pour prepared matcha over the strawberry layer. Crown each glass with prepared oat milk foam.
05 - Serve immediately with a straw. Stir thoroughly before drinking to blend the layers together.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's Instagram-worthy without being fussy—those color layers basically sell themselves.
  • You get the health benefits of matcha without feeling like you're drinking something medicinal.
  • Completely dairy-free and vegan, but nobody will miss the cream because the oat milk foam is that good.
02 -
  • The order of assembly matters more than you'd think—if you pour the matcha first and the strawberry second, they'll blend into purple instead of staying layered.
  • If your strawberry puree is too thick, it'll be hard to pour, but if it's too thin, it won't stay at the bottom; aim for the consistency of jam.
03 -
  • A bamboo matcha whisk creates a finer foam than a regular whisk, and it's genuinely cheap and lasts forever—worth having around.
  • If you don't have a milk frother, any kind of whisking works; the point is getting air into the foam, and elbow grease does that just fine.
