# Expert advice:

01 -
  • No need to choose between a fruity treat and a matcha pick-me-up—this latte delivers both in one sip.
  • The oat milk layer brings a creamy texture without any dairy, and the strawberry-matcha combo feels like summer in a glass.
02 -
  • If you rush pouring the matcha, the layers blur—take your time, even if you're thirsty.
  • Switching to barista oat milk made a big difference; standard oat milk isn't as creamy and tends to thin out fast.
03 -
  • Let the oat milk chill for at least an hour; warm milk collapses the layers and dulls flavors.
  • Invest in ceremonial grade matcha for best color and taste—the difference is striking.
