The magic of this drink lies in its layers. The vivid crimson strawberry puree — blended with maple syrup and a bright touch of lemon juice — settles at the base of the glass, creating a fruity foundation that slowly mingles with the ice and chilled oat milk poured gently over the top. Then comes the matcha: whisked with hot water until smooth and frothy, it cascades over the oat milk in deep green ribbons, completing the tricolor masterpiece. Each sip brings a harmony of sweet, creamy, and subtly grassy flavors that is utterly addictive. This recipe makes two generous servings, making it ideal for sharing — or for enjoying one today and looking forward to another tomorrow.

  • Strawberry Layer:
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (or agave syrup)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Matcha Layer:
  • 2 tsp matcha green tea powder (culinary or ceremonial grade)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) hot water (about 80°C / 176°F)
  • Latte Assembly:
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) oat milk, chilled
  • 1 cup (120 g) ice cubes

Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree
In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth. Divide the puree evenly between two tall glasses.
2. Add Ice
Fill each glass halfway with ice cubes, layering them directly over the strawberry puree.
3. Pour the Oat Milk
Gently pour the chilled oat milk over the ice and strawberry puree in each glass, taking care to preserve the distinct layers.
4. Prepare the Matcha
In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with the hot water until the mixture is smooth and frothy. A bamboo whisk works best, though a small regular whisk is perfectly fine.
5. Assemble and Serve
Slowly pour the matcha mixture over the oat milk in each glass to create the signature layered effect. Serve immediately with a straw. Stir before drinking if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für ein besonders cremiges Ergebnis empfiehlt sich die Verwendung von Barista-Hafermilch, da diese aufgeschäumter und reichhaltiger ist als gewöhnliche Hafermilch. Beim Aufschlagen des Matchas ist es wichtig, das Wasser nicht zu heiß zu verwenden — ideal sind etwa 80°C, da höhere Temperaturen das Matcha bitter machen können. Wer eine besonders glatte Textur bevorzugt, kann das Erdbeerpüree vor der Verwendung durch ein feines Sieb streichen, um die Kerne zu entfernen. Die Süße lässt sich ganz einfach durch mehr oder weniger Ahornsirup anpassen — probiere einfach das Püree, bevor du es in die Gläser gibst.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Dieses Rezept lässt sich wunderbar variieren. Wer keinen Ahornsirup zur Hand hat, kann problemlos Agavensirup verwenden — das Ergebnis ist nahezu identisch. Für eine intensivere Matcha-Note kann die Menge auf 3 Teelöffel erhöht werden, während eine etwas süßere Variante mit einem zusätzlichen Esslöffel Sirup im Erdbeerpüree erzielt werden kann. Das Rezept ist außerdem von Natur aus vegan und milchfrei. Wer auf Gluten verzichten muss, sollte auf eine zertifiziert glutenfreie Hafermilch achten, da konventionelle Hafermilch durch Kreuzkontamination belastet sein kann.

Serviervorschläge

Dieser Erdbeer-Matcha-Eislatte kommt in hohen, klaren Gläsern am besten zur Geltung, damit die schönen Farbschichten sichtbar bleiben. Serviere ihn sofort nach der Zubereitung mit einem Strohhalm. Als optionale Dekoration eignen sich aufgeschnittene Erdbeeren auf dem Glasrand oder ein leichtes Bestäuben der Oberfläche mit etwas Matchapulver. Das Getränk passt hervorragend als erfrischende Begleitung zu leichten Sommersnacks, Gebäck oder einem entspannten Frühstück.
