I am a big coffee<\/a> lover but sometimes I want something a little different. A cup of coffee doesn\u2019t always hit the spot. This is especially true in the afternoon when I want a little caffeine to wake me up but I also want something with a whole lot of flavor. That is when I turn to Matcha Iced Latte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Matcha?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Matcha<\/a>\u00a0is a kind of green tea. It is actually grown a little differently than other teas to make it healthier than the normal tea leaves. Matcha plants are covered for the last 30 days of the growing season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This increases chlorophyll production in the plants, gives them more amino acids and also makes them a deep, bright green color. That green is matcha\u2019s signature<\/a> look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Matcha Healthy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Matcha has lots of natural antioxidants, even more than is normally found in a green tea<\/a>. Drinking iced matcha latte can also help promote weight loss<\/a>, improve heart health and help protect the liver from free radicals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seems like a pretty powerful tea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water-<\/strong> Water helps dissolve the matcha powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla Extract-<\/strong> A small amount of vanilla extract adds a natural sweetness to the latte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almond Milk-<\/strong> We love the subtle flavor of almond milk<\/a> mixed with matcha. Feel free to use oat milk, whole milk, or any of your favorite dairy free milks. Any milk will work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice-<\/strong> We like a nice cold latte!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
