Superfoods Matcha Latte Recipe
Get a gentle and sustainable boost of energy from this delicious matcha latte recipe.
Matcha Lattes have become an important part of my daily ritual and give me the perfect mid-day energy boost that I need with out the caffeine jitters.
Matcha is a type of green tea made by grinding tea leaves into a fine powder.
Not only does it taste good, but has many health benefits as well. This green tea is high in antioxidants. It enhances focus & concentration and contains various nutrients to support the immune system.
When purchasing matcha, look for a USDA organic certification. It also comes in three main qualities or grades:
Culinary: Best used for baking, can be gritty when used in tea.
Premium: Higher quality than culinary and easier to blend. They also call this “Barista Grade” and can be used in lattes
Ceremonial: Highest grade of matcha available, has a fine texture and froths beautifully. Recommend to drink on its own to fully experience the complexities of the tea.
** I recommend Premium grade for this recipe. Jade Leaf Matcha is a great one to start with. Click here to find on Amazon.
\Matcha is a superfood on its own, but to add an additional nutritional boost I love buying matcha with an added adaptogens to support my wellness journey. I’m currently loving Magic Matcha from Oasis Adaptogens. I like to throw in a bit of maca root powder to help with hormone balance as well. Collagen and ashwaganda would also be great add in options.
Whipping up this yummy drink couldn’t be easier. I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think in the comments.
