Looking for an energy boost, and you don't fancy coffee? Try a matcha latte!
Matcha is a special type of green tea. Originally from Japan, and made from finely ground tea leaves, matcha has been around for centuries. However, it's recently become super popular for its health benefits and unique flavor. Thanks to its combination of caffeine and L-theanine, compared to coffee matcha offers a steadier energy boost without the jitters. It's also packed with antioxidants, which are great for your overall health. Similar to coffee, you can also prepare it with milk. That's how you get the popular drink - matcha latte. A matcha latte is a delightful milkshake-like drink made with matcha powder and your choice of milk, such as soy or almond. Whisk 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder with hot water until smooth, then froth 1 cup of your preferred milk. Pour the matcha mixture over ice, add the frothed milk, and sweeten with agave syrup or honey to taste. Enjoy your frothy and refreshing matcha latte!
