02 - Fill each glass halfway with ice cubes layered over the strawberry puree.
03 - Gently pour chilled oat milk over the ice and strawberry puree in each glass.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with hot water until smooth and frothy using a bamboo whisk or regular whisk.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent actual money at a fancy café, but you made it in ten minutes for basically nothing.
  • The layered effect is so pretty that people will assume you're way more sophisticated than you actually are.
  • It's naturally vegan and dairy-free without tasting like you're punishing yourself for your choices.
02 -
  • If your matcha is clumpy and won't whisk smooth, you've either got old matcha or water that's too hot—strain it through a fine sieve if it's hopeless.
  • Pouring the oat milk too fast is the number one way to destroy the layers, so slow down and let gravity do the work instead of forcing it.
03 -
  • If you don't have a bamboo whisk, use a fork or regular whisk—the action matters more than the tool, and you'll still get that smooth, frothy matcha.
  • Taste your strawberry puree before assembling and adjust the maple syrup and lemon juice to your preference; some strawberries are naturally sweeter or more tart than others.
