Macadamia Free Vegan Oat Milk Strawberry Matcha Latte
This vibrant layered drink is the kind of thing that stops people mid-scroll — and the good news is it tastes just as stunning as it looks. A jammy, fresh strawberry sauce sits at the base, followed by creamy frothed oat milk and a delicate pour of ceremonial-grade matcha on top, creating those gorgeous distinct layers in the glass. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about cross-contact from nut-based milks that are common in café-style lattes. Oat milk does a beautiful job standing in as the creamy component — it froths up wonderfully and has a natural sweetness that plays perfectly against the earthy matcha. The strawberry base is cooked down with just maple syrup and water, keeping things clean and simple without sacrificing any depth of flavor. It's a fully plant-based drink that feels indulgent and a little fancy, but comes together with straightforward pantry staples and one small saucepan. Make it for a slow weekend morning or whenever you want something that feels like a treat without any of the guesswork.

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.
