Strawberry Matcha Latte Oat

There is something almost magical about watching a strawberry matcha latte come together in a glass.

This Strawberry Matcha Latte with Oat Milk Foam is a café-style beverage you can make at home in just 15 minutes—vibrant, refreshing, entirely dairy-free, and as beautiful to look at as it is to sip.

Inspired by the Japanese tradition of ceremonial matcha and the modern love of layered specialty drinks, this fusion beverage bridges two worlds beautifully.

Whether you are serving it at a weekend brunch, enjoying a quiet afternoon ritual, or impressing guests with something unexpected, this latte delivers on every level.

Instructions

Step 1 — Prepare the strawberry puree

In a small saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until the strawberries are soft and syrupy. Let cool slightly, then blend until smooth. Strain for a finer texture if desired.

Step 2 — Prepare the matcha

In a bowl, sift the matcha powder. Add hot water and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or milk frother until smooth and frothy. Sweeten, if desired.

Step 3 — Prepare the oat milk foam

Heat oat milk gently (do not boil), then whisk or froth with vanilla extract and maple syrup until thick and foamy.

Step 4 — Assemble the latte

Divide the strawberry puree equally between two glasses. Add ice cubes. Slowly pour the prepared matcha over the strawberry layer. Top each glass with the oat milk foam.

Step 5 — Serve

Serve immediately with a straw. Stir before drinking to combine the layers.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Achte darauf, das Matcha-Pulver vor dem Aufgießen zu sieben, damit keine Klümpchen entstehen. Für die schönsten Schichten gieße den Matcha langsam und in einem dünnen Strahl über die Erdbeerpüree-Schicht — ein Löffelrücken kann dabei helfen, den Strahl zu bremsen und die Farben sauber zu trennen. Das Hafermilchschaum gelingt am besten mit einer Barista-Variante der Hafermilch, da diese speziell für eine stabile, cremige Schaumkonsistenz formuliert ist. Erhitze die Hafermilch sanft — ein Aufkochen lässt den Schaum zusammenfallen.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für eine intensivere Erdbeer-Note kannst du statt frischer Erdbeeren Erdbeermarmelade verwenden oder einen Tropfen Erdbeerextrakt zur Püree-Basis geben. Wer keine Hafermilch zur Hand hat, kann problemlos Mandel- oder Sojadrink als Alternative einsetzen. Die Süße lässt sich ganz nach persönlichem Geschmack anpassen — probiere verschiedene Mengen Agavensirup, Ahornsirup oder einfach klassischen Zucker aus, um deine Lieblingsbalance zu finden.

Serviervorschläge

Dieses Getränk macht optisch am meisten her, wenn es in klaren Gläsern serviert wird, sodass die leuchtenden Schichten sichtbar bleiben. Garniere jeden Becher mit einer frischen Erdbeerscheibe am Glasrand oder einem leichten Matcha-Puderstaub auf dem Schaum für ein besonders ansprechendes Finish. Serviere die Latte sofort mit einem Strohhalm und weise deine Gäste darauf hin, vor dem Trinken kurz umzurühren, damit sich alle Schichten zu einem harmonischen Geschmackserlebnis verbinden.
