Matcha Green Tea (Latte)

One of my favorite drinks to order during the summer months at Starbucks has to be there Matcha Green Tea latte. At one point I was drinking at least one per day and at near $4 dollars a pop, I was definitely feeling a bit guilty at times. I have now learned to make the same tasting lattes at homes, saving myself nearly $3 dollars each time. 

So guess what that means? I get to have 4 a day now! Just kidding, that would be antioxidant overload. And that would be just CRAZY… or would it? You can make your’s with milk, almond milk whichever you prefer.

I like to melt honey into the hot water because this adds just the right amount if sweetness. Also keep in mind when purchasing your Matcha powder be sure its organic and sustained in a good place, this way you can ensure its made properly.

I have included a link below to the powder i use, its excellent.

Do you like Pina Colada’s and dancing in the rain? Well then, you might just like this recipe for Matcha Green Tea and Coconut Frozen Yogurt better! I remember where and when i tried this first, it was last summer on a patio somewhere in downtown Vancouver, and to my surprise it was absolutely delicious and hit my sweet tooth. Shortly after i picked up some match powder and came up with my own version. Matcha is packed full of antioxidants and health benefits, so you just can’t go wrong with indulgence in this dessert every other day. I like to make this a couple times throughout the summer months, as its just another delicious excuse to get in all those amazing healthy benefits  that matcha Green powder offers.
