Have you noticed that matcha is the new kale these days? Seriously. You can’t go on Pinterest or into a bakery or even a grocery store without seeing it in the form of cheesecakes, smoothies, cookies, cakes, ice cream, or some other delicacy. If you aren’t familiar with matcha, it is essentially a form of green tea on steroids—it’s nutrient-rich and packed with antioxidants. Plus, Matcha’s made from only shade-grown green tea leaves, which are then ground into a very fine powder that makes it easy to incorporate into recipes.
Want to have your green tea and eat it too? Try one of these 10 easy-to-prepare matcha recipes that will help ease you into the trend.
