When the summer gets warmer and days get longer, you have only one thing in your mind – a frothy green iced matcha latte in a mug with sprinkled matcha powder on top!
What is Matcha?
Matcha is powdered Japanese green tea made of finely milled while green tea leaves. Matcha is a powerful antioxidant form of green tea that has a large number of components that are beneficial to human health.
In Japanese, cha means “tea” and ma means “powder”, so matcha means “powdered green tea”. Since it is made from the entire leaf, the lack of processing results in an extremely high nutrient level and thus the matcha is the healthiest form of tea.
Even if you are following a healthy lifestyle, integrating matcha into your diet can still benefit you in many ways.
Here we are sharing a matcha latte recipe that is extremely delicious yet healthy.

- 1 cup milk (cow, almond or soy whichever you prefer)
