Today, Matcha  tea is my favourite kind of drink -  I always drink Matcha in the morning and I feel so powerfull and „fresh minding”. The most important thing is that we  must buy only high quality matcha tea from Japan. The Chinese Matcha has a unsweetened taste and this type of matcha is good only for ingredient to bakery or ice cream . Chinese Matcha also has less antioxidants.

My favourite  things with matcha is:

1. Ice cream with Matcha tea powder.

Add  matcha powder to vanilla ice cream and mix together (optional: you can give crumble oreo’s coockies) – you must try these!

2.      Ice Matcha  tea latte.

When I was in Thailand, i always drank ice matcha latte because it was the best drink to hot weather.

Just prepare 1 spoon of matcha with hot water (1/2 of cup), add soya milk and  a lot of ice. Put it together on the mixer and enjoy the taste.  If You dont have a matcha, You will go to Starbucks and buy matcha green tea latte.
