MSG 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 homemade 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 of added glutamates, so there's no label-scanning or second-guessing involved — just whole, clean components you can feel good about. The strawberry base comes together in minutes on the stovetop with nothing but fresh or frozen berries, maple syrup, and water, then gets blended and strained into a silky, jewel-toned sauce. Whisking the matcha with water at the right temperature keeps it smooth and slightly frothy without any bitterness. Oat milk brings a naturally sweet, creamy body that plays beautifully against the bright berry and earthy green tea notes. It's a café-worthy treat you can make at home with total confidence in what's actually in your cup.

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.
