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

# Steps to Follow:

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, positioning them over the strawberry puree layer.
03 - Gently pour chilled oat milk over the ice and strawberry puree in each glass.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with hot water using a bamboo or regular whisk until smooth and frothy.
05 - Slowly pour the matcha mixture over the oat milk in each glass to create a distinct layered effect. Serve immediately with a straw and stir before drinking if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours at a fancy café when it genuinely takes ten minutes, making you feel like you've got your life together.
  • The strawberry sweetness and earthy matcha balance each other in a way that feels sophisticated but tastes like a treat.
  • It's naturally vegan and dairy-free, so you can serve it to literally anyone without the usual food-accommodations awkwardness.
02 -
  • Never use boiling water for matcha; it turns bitter and tastes like you're drinking grass clippings, which defeats the entire purpose of this beautiful beverage.
  • The strawberry puree can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to two days, but assemble the drink immediately before serving or the layers will start to blend together and lose their visual drama.
03 -
  • Strain the strawberry puree through a fine mesh sieve if you want absolutely silky texture without any seed pulp, which makes a visual and textural difference.
  • Use barista-style oat milk specifically—it has added ingredients that help it pour cleanly and not separate from the other layers the way regular oat milk sometimes does.
