3 Ways to Enjoy Matcha Green Tea

I’ve been hearing about the health benefits of matcha green tea for quite a few months now. It’s not something new, but it’s certainly been posted about more frequently lately.

What’s the deal with matcha?

  • It’s “the new espresso”—it gives you energy in a more healthy way, though.
  • There’s tons of minerals and nutrients. The chlorophyll in it makes it detoxifying.

Matcha Components

Here are three ways to enjoy matcha green tea:

  1. Straight up
  2. As a Latté
  3. As an ingredient in a recipe
    Maybe you’ve seen the green tea cupcakes, ice cream or other recipes on Pinterest? Or, add matcha to a smoothie.

Matcha Ingredients

If you’re worried about possible bitterness, try different flavours—chai, vanilla, mocha, etc. You can also use almond milk instead of water.

The key to making matcha straight up is a bamboo whisk, a scoop to use just the right amount of tea, a bowl or mug that will work to whisk into and hot water (not boiling). Want to see how it’s done? I put together this video: How to Make Matcha Tea.

I’m linking up with Nisha from Love Laugh Mirch, Raj from Pink Chai Living, and Salma from The Write Balance for 3 Things Thursday.
