Eggless Vegan Oat Milk Strawberry Matcha Latte
This layered iced latte is the kind of drink that stops you mid-sip and makes you want to take a photo before you even taste it. Vivid strawberry sauce pools at the bottom, creamy frothed oat milk fills the middle, and a silky pour of ceremonial-grade matcha crowns the top — all without a drop of dairy or eggs anywhere in the glass. The strawberry base is made by simmering fresh or frozen berries down with maple syrup until they become a glossy, jammy sauce, then straining it smooth for that clean, jewel-toned color. Whisking the matcha with water at the right temperature keeps it bright and grassy rather than bitter, and pouring it over the back of a spoon is the small trick that keeps those gorgeous layers intact. Frothing the oat milk — whether in a blender or with a handheld frother — gives the whole drink a café-worthy texture that feels genuinely indulgent. It's naturally free from animal products and works beautifully for anyone navigating egg-free or plant-based needs without sacrificing a single thing on flavor or presentation.

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.
