Matcha Latte
This matcha latte is a delicious and frothy mug of health that’s vibrant green without artificial coloring, and flavorful without artificial flavoring.
WHY WE LOVE THIS:
Matcha is made by grinding the entire green tea leaf into a powder. That way you end up consuming the whole leaf, that has about 10 times more nutrients and antioxidants than black tea or regular green tea. It has an incredibly vibrant green color, due to extra high chlorophyll levels.
This Matcha Latte is a delicious and healthy alternative to coffee and has so many benefits for your body: it works as a boost for memory and concentration, enhances calm, contains lots of antioxidants, and detoxifies the body, among others. In fact, matcha green tea is one of the most healthful superfoods found in nature!
Some of the benefits:
-
super high in antioxidants
-
detoxifies the body
-
boosts metabolism and burns calories
-
is rich in fiber, vitamin C, and other important minerals
-
strengthens the immune system
MATCHA LATTE {VEGAN}
Ingredients:
-
1 cup hot water
-
1/2 cup plant milk of our choice (we like coconut milk or oat milk)
-
1 tsp matcha
-
1 tbsp coconut butter
-
1 tbsp maple syrup or 1 date
-
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or fresh grated ginger root (optional)
Directions:
-
Heat the milk using a small saucepan over medium heat. Don’t bring it to a boil (matcha is best with warm, not hot milk), but instead, let it heat until warmed to your liking.
-
Add the warm water and matcha, coconut butter, sweetener, vanilla and cinnamon (if using) to the blender. Add the warm milk and blend until frothy, about 20 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
-
Pour into a mug and enjoy! Can also be refrigerated and served cold.
