A Matcha You Will Love
After you have read the benefits of this awesome matcha, you may be shocked by how many of these ingredients contain vitamins & minerals. You may be thinking “wow, wish I knew about this sooner!”.
For me, I needed an alternative to coffee, and I had heard of matcha previously. As I started thinking about matcha, I wondered if there was a way I could make my matcha better for me. After doing research, I started experimenting until I found the perfect blend for me.
While you may not love matcha today, I highly encourage you to give this recipe a try. Taste the ingredients on their own in a little water, and then adjust the recipe as needed. I’m sure you will love this matcha as much as I do!
Substitutes For Not Your Moma’s Matcha
Interested in making your own matcha mix but don’t love all the ingredients? Here are some substitutes you can try:
- Lucuma – replace with vanilla powder
- Lucuma or vanilla – omit completely and add in sweetener when making the matcha
- Milk – while I don’t include milk powder in my recipe, you can add 7.5 tablespoons of milk powder and skip having to add creamer later!
- Greens – sub any green with more of another green, you will definitely want to make a smaller batch first as it could drastically change the taste
That’s all I have for this week – I must get back to experimenting in the kitchen!
