Matcha Latte

Matcha is my go to lately. Green tea has so many good health benefits. I am a coffee lover at heart, but matcha is such a gradual dose of caffeine! Less jitters and not such a spike of energy that coffee gives you, which I find better when life already has enough going on! There are many ways to make a matcha latte, this is the blender/vitamix version. I also have a matcha whisk and enjoy making it the more traditional way too. I love the earthy taste of matcha unsweetened, but if you like it sweeter feel free to add some maple syrup or the coconut sugar option below. Enjoy xx
