Delicious Matcha Latte Recipe
April 17, 2015
I discovered matcha lattes while doing a cleanse where I couldn’t have coffee but could have caffeine.
Matcha lattes were a life-saver! I do love a morning coffee, but when I’m off coffee it's a great substitute. I also really like to have it in the afternoon for a little lift.
Matcha powder is a high-quality powdered green tea that is best stored away from light and oxygen in order to preserve its antioxidant content and beautiful green color.
Some of matcha’s health benefits include:
- high in antioxidants
- boosts memory and concentration
- enhances immunity
- increases energy and stamina
- detoxifies the body
- increases metabolism
Don't forget to do your research.
This dairy -free matcha latte contains healthy fats from the coconut milk and oil, as well as a touch of sweetness from the raw local honey, which balances the bitter properties of the matcha nicely.
As a warning, there are many matcha brands out there that aren’t pure matcha and have other ingredients and added sugar. My brand of choice is DoMatcha .
