One of my all time favorite drinks is an Iced Matcha!
Now, don’t get my wrong…the first time I had one I thought I was drinking grass… haha But now I’ve learned how to make it the way I like it, and I think you’ll like it too!
I started drinking more matcha now that i’m trying to watch my caffeine intake TTC. Yes, there is caffeine in green tea but not near as much as that 3pm latte! Plus, green tea is good for you for so many reason.
Why drink green tea?
helps reduce inflammation
rich in antioxidants
helps brain function
improves energy
….just to name a few. PLUS, it’s delicious! #winwin
Here’s my simple recipe of an Iced Matcha:
INGREDIENTS
1 tsp. matcha powder
8 oz. milk of choice
sweeten to taste
DIRECTIONS
Fill glass with ice
Pour milk of choice 3/4 of the way
In a small dish, place 1 tsp. matcha powder and sweetener of choice (I had some homemade simple syrup I used, I also love honey or pure maple syrup)
In the small dish, pour 1-2 T. boiling hot water
Whisk together until there are no clumps
Pour match + sweeter mixture over milk in glass
Below I put my fave oat milk! It’s the cleanest I’ve found. I’m actually not sure of the matcha brand I use, I go to my local health food store and have them fill up this jar in the bulk section! Making your own simple syrup is super….simple. haha Boil equal cups water to equal cups sugar — store in fridge for 2-3 weeks.
If you’re local to me, I go to Terry’s for my matcha.
