Matcha is a finely ground, vibrant green powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It is a traditional Japanese tea that has gained widespread popularity around the world for its unique flavour, health benefits, and versatility in culinary applications. Matcha has been an integral part of Japanese culture and traditions for centuries. The word "matcha" itself comes from Japanese, with "ma" meaning "ground" and "cha" meaning "tea." The cultivation, processing, and consumption of matcha have deep roots in Japanese history, particularly where it was favoured by monks for its calming properties and ability to aid in meditation.
Whisk 1 teaspoon of ceremonial grade matcha and collagen peptides with 2 tablespoons of hot (not boiling) water until smooth. Warm your milk of choice and pour it into the matcha mixture. Add raw honey to taste and stir well. Finish with a light sprinkle of cinnamon on top, if desired, and enjoy.
