Not only is matcha green tea just lovely in color, but it is
also really healthy! I mean, it’s got 137
times more antioxidants than regular green tea!!! Sound amazing? It is!
The sweetness of the coconut milk in this latte goes really well with the
earthy matcha flavor, and the mild honey.
You get to decide how much matcha to add. If you add ½ a
teaspoon, your latte will be weaker in flavor, and you will taste the coconut
milk more. (Which is fine by me!) If you have a sensitive stomach, I recommend
using only ½ tsp. If you have a strong stomach and enjoy a stronger matcha brew,
feel free to use ¾ tsp in your latte! Also, if you don’t have any collagen
peptides on hand, don’t freak out! It is totally optional. I added it because
of its amazing gut-healing benefits.
I hope you all enjoy this warm, cozy latte! Enjoy, and happy
Saint Patrick’s Day :)
