Description
An iced strawberry matcha latte with oat milk foam is a layered beverage that combines four distinct, harmonious components into a single glass. The base begins with a rich, real fruit puree made from ripe strawberries, sugar, and a splash of fresh citrus. Floating right above the fruity foundation is a cold glass of plant-based milk paired with crisp ice cubes. Next comes a layer of freshly whisked Japanese green tea powder, which offers a bold, herbaceous depth to contrast the fruitiness below. Finally, the drink is crowned with a velvety, micro-foamed top layer crafted from sweetened cold oat milk.
Ingredients
Strawberry layer
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1–2 tbsp sugar or honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Matcha latte
- 1 tsp good-quality matcha powder
- 2 tbsp hot water (about 70–80°C / 160–175°F)
- ¾ cup oat milk
- ½ cup ice
Oat milk foam
- ¼ cup cold oat milk
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup or vanilla syrup
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract — optional
Instructions
- Make the strawberry puree:
Blend or mash the strawberries with sugar and lemon juice until mostly smooth. For a smoother drink, strain out the seeds. - Prepare the matcha:
Sift the matcha into a small bowl. Add the hot water and whisk vigorously until smooth and slightly frothy. Avoid boiling water, which can make matcha bitter. - Make the oat foam:
Froth the cold oat milk with maple/vanilla syrup until thick and foamy. A handheld milk frother works particularly well. - Build the drink:
Add the strawberry puree to a tall glass. Fill with ice, then slowly pour in the oat milk. - Add the matcha:
Slowly pour the whisked matcha over the oat milk to create the beautiful layered effect. - Top with foam:
Spoon the oat-milk foam generously over the top.
Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh strawberries and high-quality matcha. Adjust the sweetness to your preference, and serve immediately for the perfect creamy, refreshing taste.
