Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oat milk
  • 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • beetroot powder optional

Method
 

  1. Warm oat milk (1c) in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until just warm (do not boil, as this is too hot for the matcha).
  2. While milk is warming, place matcha powder (1tsp), maple syrup (1tsp), lemon juice (1tsp), and cinnamon (1/4tsp) in a single-serve blender.
  3. Once oat milk is warm, add to other ingredients in a blender.
  4. Blend for at least 30 seconds to dissolve the powder and create a frothy topping.
  5. Drink immediately in your favorite mug!

Notes

Notes: If you've never had matcha tea, you may want to start with 3/4 teaspoons of matcha powder and/or add more sweetener, as it can be an acquired taste.
