My good sis introduced me to matcha last year, and I prefer drinking it cold. While my entire family are coffee drinkers and I used to stick to regular tea, matcha has added a refreshing twist to my taste experience.
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially cultivated green tea leaves. Unlike regular green tea—where the leaves are steeped and discarded—you consume the entire powdered leaf when drinking matcha. A smoother, richer flavor of Chlorophyll, and Amino acids like L-theanine brings a great balance to my gut. Now, since I love matcha and I’m jumping back into my health kick, I had to add something extra…….. Ceylon Cinnamon!
Ceylon cinnamon is the REAL deal cinnamon. It is different from the common cinnamon used in everyday pastries. It has much lower levels of coumarin, a lighter tan color, a milder, sweeter, more delicate flavor, and thin, soft layers that crumble easily. It offers several health benefits, including supporting heart health, lowering blood sugar levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and aiding in weight management.
When combining my homemade matcha latte with this, you get a powerful, guilt-free health drink that’s absolutely delicious! Check out my recipe below.
You will need: Matcha powder, Ceylon cinnamon, oat milk or milk of your choice, a milk frother, honey, warm water, ice and your cup.
Let’s Make Matcha 👍
- 2 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of hot water – I use boiling as it does break the powders down better
- Whisk dry ingredients together with hot water until smooth and it cools to the side
- Fill a glass with ice. Pour in cold oat milk. Add the matcha and cinnamon mixture. Top with a drizzle of honey or sweetener of your choice.
Take a sip …. tell me what you think about the specialty matcha! close to a cinnamon roll right?
