the benefits of matcha – matcha latte recipe

8th September 2015
Match! Matcha! Matcha! I’ve been going on about it non stop for weeks. After randomly going in search of a Matcha Latte in between meetings a few weeks ago I have been hooked. I found a quiet spot just off Carnaby street to sit in the sunshine and try my very first sip. I loved it! Now unfortunately for this new found addiction, I don’t live in trendy London and I don’t think this little town is quite hip enough for green living just yet so I decided to make my own at home, even going as far as buying the stencils to make my froth on top of my latte all pretty, I know I really am that sad. But trendy healthista drink aside, why should you be drinking Matcha?   Well if you are a green tea lover like I am then you will be astounded to know that Matcha powder contains almost 140 times more antioxidants than normal Green tea. Aids in burning calories Boosts metabolic rate Naturally detoxifies the body Calming on Mind & Body Jammed packed with vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium Mood enhancing And those are just some of the reasons you should be drinking this healthy powerhouse. I’ve never been very good with “green things” even as a child I steered clear of green veg, to the point where I was 27 years old when I first tried an avocado. But done right you can make this green powder taste anything but that. Starting with the right Matcha, you want to get yourself good quality powder so that you are fully reaping the benefits of what this drink has to offer and so far my absolute Matcha of choice is Eat Clean Tea which has been stoneground into a delicate but powerful powder […]

But trendy healthista drink aside, why should you be drinking Matcha?

 

  • Well if you are a green tea lover like I am then you will be astounded to know that Matcha powder contains almost 140 times more antioxidants than normal Green tea.
  • Aids in burning calories
  • Boosts metabolic rate
  • Naturally detoxifies the body
  • Calming on Mind & Body
  • Jammed packed with vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium
  • Mood enhancing
And those are just some of the reasons you should be drinking this healthy powerhouse.

I’ve never been very good with “green things” even as a child I steered clear of green veg, to the point where I was 27 years old when I first tried an avocado. But done right you can make this green powder taste anything but that.

Starting with the right Matcha, you want to get yourself good quality powder so that you are fully reaping the benefits of what this drink has to offer and so far my absolute Matcha of choice is Eat Clean Tea which has been stoneground into a delicate but powerful powder and comes from the highest quality source in Japan.

Then you want to find a recipe that suits your taste buds, whether you are going to pop it into smoothies, bake with it or like me, make a delicious morning latte with it. Regular readers will know that I stay away from Milk so if thats you too then this recipe is definitely for you.


 

You Will Need:

Eat Clean Tea Matcha Powder

250ml Almond Milk

A dash of Cinnamon

2 tbsp of boiling water

1/4 tsp Vanilla Essence

1/2 tsp Agave nectar

 

1. Using a milk frother (which are more powerful than I ever imagined) mix the Eat Clean Tea Matcha Powder in with the Cinnamon and boiling water.

2. Heat around 200ml of Almond milk in a pan and slowly add the Matcha solution that you made earlier and Vanilla Essence until hot but not boiling.

3. Taste the solution to decide whether you require the agave nectar.

4. I then heat and whisk using the milk frother the remaining 50ml of Almond milk to create a beautiful and frothy Matcha Latte.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
