Mix & Matcha
If you haven’t heard of matcha, where have you been these past few years?
Matcha is the finely-ground powder of a potent type of green tea. Thanks to its multitude of nutrients, Matcha has been used in China and Japan for its health benefits since the 9th century.
It is 10x more potent than regular green tea, has 100x more antioxidants than traditional green, white and black teas, and is alkalising, detoxifying, energising and rejuvenating… phew!
So, how can I get some into my diet?
Here are some of our fave recipes…
Matcha latte
There’s nothing more comforting than a lovely hot drink, especially as the weather grows colder. Why not switch up your standard cuppa for a healthier (but just as comforting) version?
Matcha latte is nutritious yet delicious. Top tip: make it with steamed brown rice milk for a touch of natural sweetness!
