What is Matcha?
Matcha powder is made up of ground up green tea leaves. Instead of brewing a cup of tea with tea leaves, this is ground up leaves that are dissolved into the warm/hot water. If you ever have the privilege of visiting Kyoto, Japan, be sure to go to a tea house and buy some beautiful matcha green tea powder for the road. The packets make great gifts.
This Matcha Iced Latte couldn’t be simpler. As a result, it’s the perfect thing to make at home!
How to Make Iced Matcha Latte
STEP 1:
You put a few teaspoons of matcha powder in a measuring cup and add a few tablespoons of hot water.
STEP 2:
