Are you looking for a new drink to kickstart your day? Let me introduce you to the delicious Matcha latte! This vibrant green drink not only looks amazing but also tastes divine.
Matcha latte is made from finely ground green tea leaves that have been specially grown and processed. It’s a great alternative to coffee for those who want a caffeine boost without the jitters. Plus, it’s loaded with antioxidants and other health benefits that will make you feel like a million bucks.
To make this heavenly drink, you’ll need some high-quality matcha powder, milk (you can use any type you like, but I recommend oat milk for a creamy texture), sweetener (optional), and a whisk. The prep time is about 5 minutes, and the cook time is approximately 3 minutes.
To start, heat your milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Next, sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a mug. Add a small amount of hot water and whisk until the powder is dissolved and you have a smooth paste. Pour the warm milk into the mug and stir until everything is well combined. If you prefer your drink sweet, you can add some honey, maple syrup, or any other sweetener of your choice.
And voila! Your Matcha latte is ready to be enjoyed. Sip on it while chatting with your girlfriends or take it to-go and conquer the day. One cup of Matcha latte has approximately 110 calories, making it a guilt-free treat.
In conclusion, Matcha latte is not only a delicious drink, but it’s also packed with health benefits that your body will thank you for. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Cheers to new beginnings and fabulous drinks!
