Sparkling Strawberries & Cream Matcha Milk Tea with Cream Cheese Cold Foam

Serves: 1

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Chill Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Featured Product: Strawberry Bubbles

What You’ll Need:

For the Matcha Base:

• 1 teaspoon ceremonial or culinary grade matcha powder
• 2 tablespoons hot water (not boiling — about 170°F)
• 2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
• ½ cup Strawberry Bubbles, chilled
• ½ cup oat milk or whole milk, chilled
• 1 cup ice

For the Cream Cheese Cold Foam:

• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• Pinch of salt
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish:

• 2–3 fresh strawberries, sliced
• Pinch of matcha powder for dusting

What You’ll Do:

Make the Cold Foam:

1. In a small bowl or using a handheld frother, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add heavy cream, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla. Froth or whisk vigorously until thick and foamy — it should mound softly on a spoon. Set aside in the fridge while you build the drink.

Make the Matcha Base:

1. Sift the matcha into a small bowl or cup. Add hot water and whisk in a quick Z or W motion until no lumps remain and a light froth forms on the surface.
2. Stir in the simple syrup or honey. Let cool for 2 minutes.

Assemble the Drink:

1. Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in the chilled oat milk, then slowly add the Bubbles. Pour over the back of a spoon to preserve the bubbles.
2. Gently drizzle the matcha mixture down the side of the glass so it layers beautifully.
3. Spoon the cream cheese cold foam generously over the top.
4. Garnish with sliced strawberries and a light dusting of matcha powder. Serve immediately and stir before drinking.
5. Pro Tip: For picture-perfect layers, build the drink without stirring and photograph before you mix. The pink bubbles, white foam, and green matcha swirl make for serious scroll-stopping content.
