There are a lot of theories to the benefit of consuming matcha. It is said to be rich in antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds (To read more about matcha checkout our all about matcha blog). However for some the robust grassy flavor of Matcha can be hard to take, so we recommend making it into a matcha latte! You can still get a serious caffeine boost and the benefits of matcha - all you have to do is choose any plant-based milk you love and add a bit of honey...and you won't be able to just stop at one of these. We've tried to make this recipe approachable for beginners - any milk frothing wand will do. We like to think this Matcha Latte is the perfect pick-me-up!
