What is Matcha you ask?
Matcha is a concentrated form of Green Tea.
What are the benefits of Matcha you ask?
Some of the benefits are: boosts your metabolism, improves your concentration, increases your creative thinking abilities, calms you down and my favorite is that it tastes absolutely freaking delicious!! Now, for some Matcha may be an acquired tasted, something like red wine. But if you try it just right, you will be hooked!
I’d say to start with this iced matcha latte. I used only 1 tsp of matcha powder, so you will get just enough of a taste but not an overly strong taste either. I also mix in honey with the matcha paste so it provides you with some sweetness!
Don’t be intimated! Forget all that fancy stuff that comes with a matcha kit. You do not need any of it. Just get some matcha powder and you are good to go. After you become a matcha snob, then go for all the other fancy stuff.
You can find matcha powder at a GNC retail store or you can search for a good powder online. Make sure it is food grade, all natural & organic, for the best quality & taste!
