Im a big fan of Matcha in any form. I love its earthy, grassy flavor and of course I love the fact that it comes with antioxidant benefits. Most days I make a simple matcha tea no added flavors or milk, just hot water and matcha and because I developed a taste for matcha sans sweetners I prefer it plain. Occasionally if I have had a light lunch or I have just enough time for a hot morning beverage I make a bulletproof matcha latte. Bullet proof is fancy term for fat added to a beverage like butter, coconut oil or ghee. I didn’t use any of those fats and subbed it with nut butter and oat milk. I also made it without any sweeteners, but you’re welcome to add honey or sweeteners of your choice. Lavender adds a delicious floral component to the latte. If you can’t find lavender extract or don’t have it try use rose or vanilla or simply leave it out. Enjoy!
