Mint Matcha Latte
These healthy mint matcha lattes offer a delightfully minty pick-me-up, making them perfect for sipping first thing in the morning or in the afternoon.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 c. unsweetened non-dairy milk (I use almond), warmed in a sauce pan on the stove or in the microwave (473 ml)
- 3 Tbsp. maple syrup + more to taste (30 ml)
- 2 tsp. matcha green tea organic, if possible
- 25-27 fresh mint leaves or 2-3 drops of mint extract/flavoring (plus more to taste) Fresh mint leaves will offer a subtle mint flavor, whereas the mint extract will add a bit more of a minty punch.
- 1 handful of fresh spinach this is optional but helps create a bright green color
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the warmed milk, maple syrup, matcha green tea, mint, and spinach, if using.
- Blend until completely smooth and liquified.
- Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, if needed. Top with whipped cream, if you like!
Notes
- These lattes can be stored in the fridge for about a week.
- Make an iced version by pouring these lattes over ice.
