The Best Matcha Recipe

Matcha is my third love (right after my husband and puppy). My friends and family know how much I LOVE matcha. It has become such a morning ritual for me to drink and use it as a way to sip on and have a slow morning (when time permits).

About 4 years ago I swapped out my coffee for matcha because I would get supper jittery and almost sick after drinking coffee. I used to use Coffee Mate and didn’t know how to find a better creamer alternative at that time.

I like matcha because of its low caffeine content (about 50-70 mg) and the fact that it contains L-theanine. L-theanine naturally occurs in matcha and creates a better response to caffeine. Here are a few things that I’ve noticed after drinking matcha for many years - a better cognitive function, no jitters, and a better ability to manage stress (thanks to the l-theanine).

Now, to get to the point on how to make it - I promise, all my recipes won’t have this story, I just love matcha so much.
