I have totally gotten hooked on what matcha does for me. Matcha is a special form of powdered green tea. It is a packed with natural antioxidants and nutrients. Antioxidants help reduce the risk of many diseases, and their benefits continue to be studied around the world. Matcha has been proven to help protect the liver, promote heart health, and even aid in weight loss. Best of all, matcha is super easy to prepare. From matcha lattes to matcha pancakes, I love it all! And the green color is just so fun! My Spice Sage is my go to place to order my matcha powder (https://www.myspicesage.com/matcha-powder-p-937.html). Add milk or water, some matcha powder, a little sweetener, and ice, and you are set! I have included my Iced Matcha Monday Latte recipe below! It is my favorite way to start a Monday.
