A toasted English muffin smeared with almond butter and sea salt is just begging to be washed down with sips of this cold, creamy, sweet, antioxidant-dense iced matcha green tea latte. It’s like the world’s healthiest form of a latte. I know you’re maybe asking questions. Raising eyebrows. Matcha is a tiny bit off the mainstream map, I get it.
Let Me Tell You About The Inspo For This Drink
So to set the stage. MATCHA GREEN TEA IS THE BOMB.COM. I didn’t know about it until, like, two months ago. It all started with an obsession with a local tea bar in St. Paul, where I’d order this thing called a Royal Tea Latte (I’m speaking in past tense as if this is something of days gone by, but in reality I’m stopping there on my way home from work to get my third one this week – large plz – and I have zero regrets) and because the Royal had to brew for a few minutes, I’d sit there and watch all the other tea people ordering and navigating the scary-exciting menu of a tea bar. And that’s when I realized: whoa, matcha.
The Matcha Deets
I started ordering matcha tea latte drinks at coffee shops. I was just curious. I found some things out. Get a mason jar with a lid. Imma show you. First: That’s the matcha paste (you have to make a paste so you don’t get chunks) mixed with the almond milk and agave. Lid on, annnnnnd GO. 60 seconds later, you are sipping that matcha green tea latte like a boss. It’s packed with antioxidants (thanks matcha!) and it’s ULTRA creamy while staying light in calories and fat (thanks Almond Breeze!) and completely plant-powered (thanks agave!) and GUESS WHAT there’s a bonus. It has a little bit of caffeine. BZZZZZ
