I know I should have a cup of green tea every morning because green tea is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have beneficial effects on the body which include but are not limited to increased metabolism rate which in turns aids weight loss. Many studies have also proven that people who drink green tea have lower risks of cancer, increase in brain function, glowing skin, better digestion and so on.
BUT
Let’s face it, at 44 degrees, it is way to hot to drink tea. However I’m here to help with this recipe that’s not only delicious and creamy but is also loaded with all the benefits of Matcha the key ingredient in green tea. Enjoy!

- 2 teaspoons Matcha powder
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
