A quick and easy iced latte combining the earthiness of matcha, the sweetness of fresh strawberry syrup, and creamy oat milk for a refreshing and healthy beverage.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup water (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 1/2 cups oat milk (360 ml), preferably unsweetened
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Strawberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, water, and maple syrup. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
  2. Strain the Syrup: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing gently with a spoon to extract all the juice. Discard the solids. Let the syrup cool completely (about 15 minutes).
  3. Prepare the Matcha: Sift 2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl to avoid clumps. Add 2 ounces (60 ml) of hot water (about 175Β°F or 80Β°C) and whisk vigorously in a zig-zag motion until frothy and smooth.
  4. Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Add 3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry syrup, then pour in the whisked matcha. Top with 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) of oat milk and a splash of vanilla extract if using. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Add a few fresh strawberry slices on top or a sprinkle of matcha powder for a pretty finish. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and chill.

Notes

Use ceremonial-grade matcha for best flavor. Avoid boiling water when whisking matcha to prevent bitterness. Unsweetened oat milk is recommended to keep flavors balanced. Strawberry syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to one week. For a sweeter latte, add more syrup or maple syrup. Can be served hot by skipping ice and warming oat milk.
