You asked for it so here it is. Share a Matcha Green Tea latte
with me as I tell you how I make mine for today’s Tasty Tuesday.
There is something so calming and soothing about a hot cup of tea.
What makes these Matcha tea lattes even better than a regular cup of tea is
matcha powder has more antioxidants in it than blueberries, açaí and broccoli
combined.
Yum
Yum
My first encounter with the green tea goodness was a few years
back with the green tea frappe from Starbucks. However, as I read more about
it, I realized that there were ways you could make it so much healthier. It
wasn’t until the coveted Milk Frothier that I’ve talked about before HERE that I got
the notion to make these lattes at home...and often. In my afternoon or evening
oasis curled up with a good book, this rich antioxidant goodness is so soothing
and yes, sometimes cookie accompanies it.
So here is how I usually make myself mine, 5 easy minutes totally worth your time for the end result! Put this powder in muffins, pancakes smoothies and so much more. One thing I’ve found is Matcha powders are not made equal. Make sure you buy the Classic Culinary Grade. (Buy Here)

Pour into mug and stir well. Stir in 1 teaspoon of honey and top with cinnamon if desired. I usually stir in the cinnamon well. Enjoy!

I Love Green Tea! I need to try this!
ReplyDeleteI want to like hot tea, but just can't actually do it. (I like the idea of it but haven't found a tea I actually like!) This looks delicious though, so maybe I need to give it a try! All those antioxidants and the coziness of it makes me really want some!
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy, I'm ordering the powder and the frothier now! Can't wait to try this, sounds like the perfect little drink for relaxing and it's better for me than wine, lol!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday talented friend!
xo,

I see these all over the social media world & I've still never had one!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried this but keep hearing how yummy it is.
ReplyDeleteYum this looks so good! I haven't made one in awhile. I have to go find my matcha powder!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna hafta think on this post a while, Girlfriend! I mean, I'm doing good just being off Diet Cokes for nearly a month!
ReplyDeleteHmm...Haven't seen/heard of this, am I living under a rock? Need to read up on it!
ReplyDeleteI'm pinning this!
ReplyDeleteQuestion - does this upset your stomach? I have a reallly sensitive belly so just curious.
I LOVE green tea, but I've never had anything like this! I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! I've never had it before but I love green tea and think I need to try this. I love how much antioxidants it has. Sierra~Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteI used to have some matcha powder and then one day I had some with tea and I didn't feel well after, so I stopped using it!
ReplyDeleteI am always all about healthier drinks, because there are a lot of unhealthy drinks (anything at Starbucks practically that I like! lol!) that tempt me! I do love tea, but I've never ever used matcha powder! I'm going to have to try this! I have a milk frother and isn't it just the funnest thing? I love using it and drinking the delicious froth after! So much fun!

I JUST ordered a green tea frap yesterday from Starbucks. I was desperate for something delicious and distracting from Monday and stopped to get one. I would much rather have a healthier option so i am totally buying all the stuff to make this! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI reviewed some matcha recently and never thought to make a latte out of it. I need to do that. Plus that milk frother is awesome!
ReplyDeleteYum! I’ve been drinking a lot of tea lately but I still love my lattes and this seems like the best of both worlds!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I have a frother at home (not this exact one), and we love it. It is nice to be able to make lattes.

Wow... never heard of this tea. I am definitely going to try it. Enjoy your week, dear Andrea.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I love green tea and iced green tea but never tried anything like this before! Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
ReplyDeleteYummy! This looks good. I made a tea I plan to post on Thursday so stay tuned. I have that same Blogging Day mug! I love it.
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to try this recipe. I try to learn new ways to make and drink teas and coffees.

I have never tried one of these, I need to do it! Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteYum!! I definitely need to try that powder! This looks so tasty!
ReplyDeleteYummy
ReplyDeleteI bought matcha powder at Trader Joe’s. I also bought their latte. Couldn’t bring myself to swallow it. But I perhaps should try your recipe!!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for writing this post for me! I'm saving this post to my recipes collection and adding those items to my next Amazon order. You're the best!
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks for sharing this and I might have to try it since it's frothy. I don't generally do hot tea but this looks really good and I definitely need to get myself a frother.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried one of these, definitely on the list now!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome to drop by for a cup of inspiration.

I had one, not selfmade, a few weeks ago. I like my green tea better the normal way
ReplyDeleteNot sure If I'd like this, I'm siting drinking my traditional builders tead here in the UK. x Jacqui Mummabstylish
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! Pinned it to my Beverages board. Love green tea so will have to try this. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot about the matcha powder until this post. I remembered when you talked about it before I thought I should try it. So when you put it in recipes does it affect/alter the taste? Does the latte taste like green tea with milk? I guess I can buy it and if I don't like it, I'll just send it to you. Winner-winner! Thanks for sharing and I pinned it😉 XOXO
ReplyDeleteYou know I love a matcha tea! I'm still having one every night – but my favourite is with rice or almond milk. All creamy and yummy!

I love green tea lattes. I buy the Lipton matcha & add it to almond milk. I might have to try this & I love the frothier. I also drink chai tea every day.
