# What You’ll Need:

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

# Directions:

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, layering over the strawberry puree.
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 until smooth and frothy using a bamboo whisk or regular whisk.
05 - Slowly pour the matcha mixture over the oat milk to create a layered effect. Serve immediately with a straw and stir before drinking if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's visually stunning enough to make you feel fancy without any special skills or fancy equipment.
  • The earthiness of matcha plays perfectly against the bright strawberry sweetness, so neither flavor overwhelms the other.
  • You can make it in under ten minutes, which means impulse fancy drinks are finally possible.
02 -
  • Water temperature is not optional—boiling water will make your matcha taste bitter and turn it a muddy brownish-green instead of the vibrant shade you're after.
  • Whisk your matcha with real intention because lumps ruin the entire drink, and thirty seconds of proper whisking prevents any grittiness on your tongue.
03 -
  • Freeze some strawberry puree in ice cube trays so you can make this drink in literally three minutes on random afternoons.
  • If your oat milk is warm, let it chill in the fridge while you prep the other layers—the temperature difference is what creates that beautiful visual separation.
