Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup oat milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or maple syrup (for strawberry layer)
- 1 teaspoon water (for strawberry layer)
- 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water (for whisking matcha)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry puree: Combine the strawberries, sugar or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of water in a small blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a slightly textured layer, mash the strawberries well with a fork instead.
- Prepare the matcha: Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of hot (not boiling) water. Whisk vigorously in a ‘W’ or ‘M’ motion until the matcha is smooth and frothy with no clumps.
- Assemble the drink: Place ice cubes into a tall glass. Pour the strawberry puree evenly over the ice.
- Pour the milk over the strawberry layer.
- Slowly pour the whisked matcha mixture over the milk layer to create the distinct green layer on top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Strawberry Matcha Latte.
Notes
- For a Starbucks copycat version, use vanilla syrup in the strawberry layer for extra sweetness.
- If you want a creamier texture, use full-fat oat milk or whole milk.
- To achieve the best layers, pour the matcha slowly over the back of a spoon resting just above the milk.
