Matcha has been long reputed for centuries that it possesses stronger health benefits than green tea.
Some of the known health benefits are:
- Matcha is packed with antioxidants.
- Caffeine is more concentrated in matcha and therefore boosts concentration and alertness.
- Theanine in matcha promotes relaxation, reduces stress and improves sleep.
- Boosts metabolism and promotes weightless
- Prevents disease and lowers blood sugar
What ingredients do I need and how do you make iced matcha latte?
- Matcha Powder – you can use ceremonial grade matcha or culinary grade matcha. Ceremony grade is much more expensive but has a vibrant green color. Matcha can be found in most Asian supermarkets as well as on Amazon.
- Sweetener – use your preferred sweetener.
- Choice of Milk – you can use your preferred choice of milk including: dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk etc.
Add Matcha Powder, sweetener to taste and hot water into glass. Mix Matcha Powder using a matcha whisks (bamboo whisk) until dissolved and no clumps remain.
Next add ice cubes, and pour milk of choice, followed by the cold water, whisking in each ingredient. Stir and enjoy.
What is matcha?
Matcha is finely ground powder from green tea leaves that are grown specifically in the shade, which produces more theanine and caffeine.
The theanine in the tea leaves is what promotes relaxation, reduces stress and improves sleep, as well as boosts concentration and alertness.
The entire process of making matcha green tea powder takes several weeks, which may explain the hefty price, however, the benefits are undeniable!
What type of matcha should I use?
I always prefer loose matcha powder but you can also use matcha tea bags for ease if you prefer.
When purchasing matcha powder, notice there is culinary grade and ceremonial grade. Their prices differ greatly.
Culinary is less expensive and will work fine for this recipe.
Ceremonial grade is more expensive and is also very bright green in color compared to culinary grade. The flavor and taste difference between the two are very subtle.
