In this video I’m sharing with you what matcha green tea is, the health benefits of matcha, the difference between coffee and matcha, and how to make it with or without matcha tools.

SOME MATCHA FACTS:

High concentration of chlorophyll, a natural detoxifier and liver-cleanser
High concentration of L-theanine, which calms the mind and improves focus
Provides energy boost without the crash
Linked to faster metabolism, brain health, and reduced risk of many common ailments

HOW TO PREPARE MATCHA:

- Heat your water to about 175F or 80C. Make sure you don’t use boiling water as it will result in a drink that’s too bitter.

- Warm your tea bowl with hot water (if you want to be extra fancy :)). Discard the water and wipe it completely dry with a cloth.

- Sift 1 tsp matcha into a cup using a small sifter..

- Pour about 2 OZ or 60ML of water over your matcha tea.

- Using your bamboo whisk, gently swipe in a zigzag motion until the tea is well combined. In a traditional tea ceremony, you would sip this elixir just like this.

- You can also pour about 4 more ounces or 120 ml of warm water over the tea mixture and enjoy as you would a warm cup of tea.

-And lastly, you can turn it into a latte by adding your favorite milk of choice (warmed and frothed). I pour a few ounces of homemade steamed coconut milk over the top and add ½ tsp of raw manuka honey.

HOW TO MAKE MATCHA WITHOUT MATCHA TOOLS:

- You can easily add all the ingredients into your blender, blend for a few seconds to combine.

- Alternatively, if you own a tiny frother you can use it in place of a bamboo whisk as well.

- Lastly, you can froth your milk in a french press. Just add your milk of choice and pump it vigorously until you have the consistency you like.
