This colorful Strawberry Oat Milk Matcha Latte is creamy, vibrant, and sweet. A refreshing and energizing drink layered with green tea and strawberry syrup.

A glass of strawberry matcha latte, with three distinct layers of red syrup, white milk, and green matcha.

A few months ago I made strawberry matcha lattes on a whim (with homemade strawberry syrup too). Turns out, they are absolutely delightful.

There's something about the earthy matcha and the bright, sweet strawberries that combines so well. Plus the creamy milk. So good!

I LOVE me an iced drink (I drink cold brew year round) so I made this latte iced, but feel free to make a hot version too.

Pro Tip: Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and color.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Matcha: use your favorite matcha
Hot Water & Cold Water: If you're making an iced latte I recommend mixing the matcha with hot water first. This helps the powder fully emulsify with the water. Then finish with cold water to help cool down the drink. For a hot latte, use warm water only.
Oat Milk: oat milk is super smooth, creamy, and delightful in lattes. If you don't want to use oat, you can also use soy. I find that almond milk tastes a little funky in lattes, so I recommend soy milk or oat milk.
Strawberry Syrup: I used my strawberry simple syrup. I love keeping some of the pulp and adding it to the lattes for texture. You can also use a store-bought syrup.

FAQ & Expert Tips

Can I make this warm instead of iced?

Yes! Use only warm water in the matcha, skip the ice, and warm the oat milk on the stove or microwave before mixing.

What oat milk works best?

Barista-style oat milk gives the creamiest texture, but any kind works. The Califia Barista milk froths really well.

How do I keep the layers separate?

Pour slowly and/or over the back of a spoon.

Can I make other flavors?

Yes! Use this recipe with other syrups.
