Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (preferably ceremonial grade)
  • 2 ounces hot water (about 175ยฐF / 80ยฐC)
  • ยฝ cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (about 75 grams or 2.6 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (or honey/agave syrup, to taste)
  • 1 cup chilled oat milk (240 ml, about 8 fl oz)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill the glass)
  • Optional: ยผ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional: Pinch of lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps.
  2. Add 2 ounces (60 ml) of hot water (around 175ยฐF / 80ยฐC) to the matcha and whisk briskly in a zig-zag motion until frothy and smooth, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
  3. Place ยฝ cup hulled strawberries and 2 tablespoons of simple syrup into a blender. Blend until smooth but still slightly textured. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Add a pinch of lemon zest if desired. Set aside.
  4. Fill your glass halfway with ice cubes.
  5. Pour the strawberry puree gently over the ice, letting it settle at the bottom to create a vibrant pink base.
  6. Slowly pour the prepared matcha over the strawberry layer, allowing it to float on top and create a green layer. Pour carefully to keep layers distinct.
  7. Using the back of a spoon, gently pour 1 cup (240 ml) of chilled oat milk over the matcha to create a creamy top layer. Stir vanilla extract into the oat milk before pouring if using.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a thin strawberry slice on the rim for an elegant look.
  9. Serve immediately or let sit for a minute to let flavors mingle. Stir gently before sipping if desired.

Notes

Use chilled ingredients and pour oat milk slowly over the back of a spoon to maintain distinct layers. Adjust sweetness gradually. Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor and texture. Store strawberry puree and matcha concentrate separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir well before refrigerating leftovers and avoid freezing oat milk.
