Strawberry Matcha Iced Latte (Printable)

A layered iced latte combining strawberry puree, matcha, and oat milk for a refreshing treat.

# Ingredient List:

→ Strawberry Layer

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
02 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup
03 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

→ Matcha Layer

04 - 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
05 - 1/4 cup hot water

→ Latte Assembly

06 - 1 1/2 cups chilled oat milk
07 - 1 cup ice cubes

# Steps:

01 - Combine strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth and divide the puree evenly between two tall glasses.
02 - Fill each glass halfway with ice cubes, layering directly over the strawberry puree.
03 - Gently pour chilled oat milk over the ice and strawberry puree in each glass until nearly full.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with hot water until smooth and frothy using a bamboo whisk or regular whisk.
05 - Slowly pour the matcha mixture over the oat milk in each glass to create a layered effect. Serve immediately with a straw and stir before drinking if desired.

# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • It looks stunning in a glass and tastes even better than it photographs, which makes you feel like a cafè professional in your own kitchen.
  • The whole thing comes together in ten minutes, meaning you can actually have this ready before your coffee craving passes.
  • Strawberry and matcha are a surprisingly perfect pair—the tartness keeps the earthiness from getting heavy, and neither one dominates.
02 -
  • Cold oat milk resists mixing with warm matcha at first—this isn't a problem, it's actually how you get the layered effect, so don't panic if the green and white don't immediately combine.
  • Matcha powder clumps aggressively if you don't whisk it thoroughly in hot water before adding it to the cold drink, turning the whole thing gritty and disappointing.
03 -
  • Make the strawberry puree the night before and chill it so you're not waiting for anything on the morning you want this drink.
  • Keep your matcha in an airtight container away from light and heat, because it oxidizes quickly and turns the beautiful green into something dull and bitter.
