Goddess Green Tea Latte
This is a great way to enjoy the health benefits of green tea and this latte is dairy free so great for those that are lactose intolerant or following a vegan lifestyle.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 3 tbsp boiling water
- 1 cup almond or coconut milk (full fat)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Place Matcha and hot water in a glass. If you own a small bamboo whisk that usually accompanies matcha great, if not don't worry about it! Mix the green tea and hot water with a whisk till it dissolves.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk over low heat on the stove and add the sweetener. Stir until well dissolved.
- Using a milk frother you can froth the milk first and add it to the matcha or pour the milk in and froth it together. If you don't have one that's ok, just pour the warm milk in and mix well until you have a consistent, beautiful green color. Enjoy!
Notes
Storing Tip: Matcha is extremely sensitive to light and heat. In Japan, delicate young green tea leaves are picked, ground into a powder (matcha) and then usually flash frozen to preserve it. This is why most match you buy comes in a foil or dark container to protect it from light. I like to keep my matcha bag in the fridge or freezer to ensure I am preserving its nutritional value and delicate state as much as I can.
