Ingredients
Strawberry Milk Mixture
- 2-3 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 3/4 cup oat milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
Matcha Mixture
- 2 teaspoons ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 1/4 cup hot (not boiling) water
Other
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Blend Strawberry Milk: Add the strawberry jam, oat milk, vanilla bean paste, and optional maple syrup to a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a sweet and creamy strawberry milk base.
- Prepare Matcha: In a separate bowl, whisk together the ceremonial grade matcha powder and hot water (ensure the water is hot but not boiling) until the matcha is completely dissolved and a vibrant green color with a smooth texture forms.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the blended strawberry milk mixture over the ice, followed by gently pouring in the dissolved matcha. The layers will create a beautiful presentation. Stir gently if desired, then enjoy your homemade strawberry matcha latte.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of strawberry jam to control sweetness level.
- Use ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
- Ensure hot water is not boiling to avoid bitterness in matcha.
- Maple syrup is optional and can be omitted for a less sweet version.
- For a vegan and dairy-free version, oat milk works perfectly.
