Strawberry Matcha Latte Oat (Print Version)

A refreshing blend of strawberry puree, matcha, and creamy oat milk foam, delivering a vibrant dairy-free beverage.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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, approximately 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 It:

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 become syrupy. Cool slightly, then blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer 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 desired.
03 - Gently heat oat milk without boiling. Whisk or froth with vanilla extract and maple syrup until thick and foamy.
04 - Divide strawberry puree equally between two glasses. Add ice cubes to each glass. 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 layers.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It looks Instagram-worthy but tastes even better, with layers of sweet strawberry, earthy matcha, and creamy foam that actually work together.
  • Completely dairy-free and vegan, so you can serve it to anyone without worrying about dietary restrictions.
  • Takes just 15 minutes from start to sip, making it perfect for those mornings when you want something special but don't have time to fuss.
02 -
  • If your strawberry puree looks too thin, it means your berries weren't ripe enough or you didn't cook them long enough; next time, let them simmer a full 4–5 minutes until the liquid reduces by half.
  • Matcha whisks smoothly only if you sift the powder first; I learned this the hard way when I poured water directly into unsifted matcha and spent ten minutes fishing out lumps.
  • Barista-style oat milk is non-negotiable for foam; regular oat milk will just separate into hot milk with a thin layer of bubbles on top, which defeats the entire visual point.
03 -
  • Make the strawberry puree ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to three days; then you can assemble the whole drink in under five minutes whenever you want one.
  • Invest in a milk frother if you make this more than once a month; it costs about fifteen dollars and makes the foam happen in seconds instead of minutes of arm-numbing whisking.
