This hot matcha latte will give you the boost you need to conquer the day, and it’s just as creamy and delicious as the kind you buy at the coffeehouse!
There are many people in this world who cannot function without coffee, but for others, that jolt of caffeine is a little bit too much. If you can’t drink a pumpkin spice latte without getting the jitters, a hot matcha latte might be more your speed!
Matcha has caffeine, too, but it’s anywhere from one-fifth to one-half the amount of coffee (depending on the preparation). This gives you a gentle boost rather than frantic caffeinated energy. Matcha also contains an amino acid called L-theanine, which is thought to reduce stress—and energy + stress relief is pretty much the best combination there is, right?
