Lupin Free Vegan Oat Milk Strawberry Matcha Latte
This vibrant layered drink is the kind of thing that stops people mid-scroll — rosy strawberry at the bottom, creamy oat milk in the middle, and a cloud of earthy matcha on top. The strawberry base is made from scratch by simmering fresh or frozen berries with maple syrup until they collapse into a silky, jewel-toned sauce that gets strained until perfectly smooth. Ceremonial-grade matcha is whisked with hot water just below boiling to coax out its grassy, slightly sweet depth without any bitterness. Frothed oat milk ties everything together with a neutral creaminess that lets all three layers shine. For anyone navigating lupin sensitivities, this recipe is naturally in the clear — every ingredient is straightforward, with no flour blends, legume-derived additives, or processed thickeners hiding in the mix. Pouring the matcha over the back of a spoon keeps those gorgeous distinct layers intact right up until the first sip. It's a café-worthy drink you can make at home with ingredients you can actually trust.

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.
