BHA & BHT Free Vegan Oat Milk Strawberry Matcha Latte
This layered iced drink is the kind of thing you'd pay way too much for at a trendy café — and now you can make it at home with ingredients you can actually trust. Bright, jammy strawberry sauce sits at the base, followed by creamy frothed oat milk and a cloud of earthy ceremonial-grade matcha on top, all over a glass packed with ice. Every component is made from scratch, which means no preservatives, no synthetic additives, and none of the hidden chemical stabilizers that sneak into store-bought flavored syrups and packaged drink mixes. The strawberry base comes together in just a few minutes on the stovetop with fresh or frozen berries, maple syrup, and water — nothing more. Whisking the matcha with water at the right temperature keeps it smooth and slightly frothy without any bitterness. Oat milk blends up beautifully foamy and adds a naturally sweet, neutral creaminess that lets the strawberry and matcha flavors shine. It's visually stunning in the glass and genuinely refreshing — the kind of drink that makes a slow morning feel like a real treat.

Instructions
- 1
Combine the strawberries, maple syrup, and 2 tbsp water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have broken down and the mixture is syrupy, about 4–5 minutes. Transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender and blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pressing on the solids. Set aside to cool slightly.

Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl to break up any clumps. Add 2 tbsp of the hot water (175°F / 80°C) per serving — 2 tbsp for each bowl if making individually — and whisk in a brisk zigzag motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and a light foam forms on the surface, about 30 seconds.
