Ingredients
- 1-1½ tsp matcha powder
- ¼ cup warm water
- 1 cup oat milk I used the full fat oat milk from Oatly
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ice cubes to serve
For the strawberry syrup or puree
- 2 packed cups fresh or frozen strawberries diced
- ⅓ cup water
- 1-3 tbsp sweetener I used maple syrup, but brown sugar works too. Adjust the amount depending on how sweet the strawberries are.
Instructions
Make the strawberry syrup
- Add the strawberries and water (⅓ cup) to a small saucepan and turn on the heat to medium. Stir and cook uncovered until soft and saucy, about 10 minutes. Adjust the heat so it simmers gently without sticking to the bottom.
- Then, add the sweetener (1-3 tablespoons) and stir to combine. You can use the bottom of a spoon or a potato masher to crush the fruit (you can also blend for a very smooth texture). Transfer to a small airtight container and cool down (I recommend transfering to the fridge until ready to use).
Make the matcha oat mixture
- To a small bowl, sift the matcha powder and add the warm water (¼ cup). Use a bamboo whisk to combine (about 30 seconds, it should get foamy on top).
- Then, add the oat milk, vanilla extract and sweetner (1-2 teaspoons). Stir and set aside.
Assemble and serve
- Add some strawberry puree to the bottom of your serving glass (2-3 tablespoons) and then add some ice cubes. Pour the matcha oat milk over and top it off with some oat foam (optional, see notes)

Notes
- To make the oat foam, simply add some oat milk (about ¼-1/3 cup) to a mug, then use a handheld frother to froth the milk until light and foamy. Then, pour over the top of your drink.
- I recommend using ceremonial-grade matcha green tea powder if possible (better quality, brighter green, sweeter flavor, and more expensive than culinary grade). That being said, if you only have culinary-grade matcha, then it will also work!
