This vibrant iced drink is the kind of thing that stops the scroll ā layers of rosy strawberry syrup, creamy oat milk, and a vivid green matcha float stacked in a tall glass like a work of art. The homemade strawberry syrup comes together in just a few minutes on the stovetop, simmering fresh or frozen berries with maple syrup until they break down into something silky and deeply fruity. Whisking the matcha separately with water at the right temperature keeps it smooth and bright rather than bitter, and pouring it slowly over the back of a spoon is the little trick that gives you those gorgeous distinct layers. Cold oat milk ties everything together with a natural creaminess that plays beautifully against the earthy, grassy notes of the matcha. Every single ingredient here is plant-based, so there's no need to scan labels or swap anything out ā it's straightforwardly free of animal products from start to finish. Make it for a slow weekend morning or whenever you need something that feels a little more special than your usual iced coffee routine.

Combine the strawberries, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 2 tbsp water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and pressing the berries with the back of a spoon, until the strawberries have broken down and the mixture is syrupy, about 4ā5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes, then press through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl, discarding the solids. You should have about 3ā4 tbsp of strawberry syrup.
Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or measuring cup to break up any clumps. Add the hot water (about 175°F / 80°C ā not boiling, which can make matcha bitter) and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and no dry powder remains, about 30 seconds. Stir in the optional 1 tsp maple syrup, if using.
