Learn how to make your own Starbucks Iced Strawberry Oat Matcha Latte at home with this easy copycat recipe!
Ingredients
Strawberry Syrup
- 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries (6-7 strawberries)
- 1 cup cane sugar*
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Strawberry Oat Matcha Latte
- Handful of ice
- 1-2 strawberries, diced (optional)
- 2-3 tbsp strawberry syrup
- 1/2 cup oat milk
- 1 tsp matcha powder** (I use ceremonial matcha)
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 1 strawberry for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Strawberry Syrup
- Add chopped strawberries, cane sugar, and water into a small saucepan. Bring everything to a boil stirring often to make sure the sugar dissolves.
- Lower the heat and simmer the syrup for 15 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. This will help the syrup absorb even more strawberry flavor.
- Strain the syrup into a large measuring cup through a fine mesh strainer and stir in the vanilla extract if using. Pour the syrup into an airtight glass jar and store the syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Strawberry Oat Matcha Latte
- Fill a tall glass with ice and diced strawberries.
- Pour strawberry syrup over the ice.
- Froth your oat milk if desired and pour it over the syrup.
- Sift your matcha into a cup or a bowl and pour hot water over it. Whisk using a matcha whisk or a handheld milk frother.
- Pour the matcha over the milk and garnish with a strawberry if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
* Sugar: Cane sugar is the ideal choice here because it’s flavorless and it’s what Starbucks uses in their syrups. You can use maple syrup or agave if you don’t have or don’t want to use cane sugar. I don’t recommend brown sugar or dark brown sugar because the flavor would overpower the strawberry flavor too much. If you use agave, you might want to use only ¾ cup because it’s sweeter than sugar.
** Matcha: Starbucks uses matcha mixed with sugar so their drinks will always be sweeter and they'll use much more matcha than you normally would. 1 teaspoon of 100% pure matcha is enough for a Grande-sized Starbucks drink.
The syrup makes enough for 8 servings if you use 3 tbsp per serving. Or 12 servings if you use 2 tbsp.
