By Nmami Agarwal 22-Oct 2021 Reading Time: 2 Mins

The Matcha Green Tea Fusion is a vibrant and energizing beverage that combines the rich, umami flavors of matcha with a touch of creaminess from milk and a hint of citrus. It’s an ideal drink for a refreshing boost, whether enjoyed hot or cold.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

240 ml water
1 teaspoon matcha powder
60 ml milk
Ice cubes
Lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish

Procedure:

Heat the water until just below boiling (around 80°C or 175°F).
In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to avoid clumps. Add a small amount of the hot water (about 2 tablespoons) to the matcha powder and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or a small regular whisk until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.
Pour the remaining hot water into the bowl with the whisked matcha. Stir well to combine. For a creamier texture, add the almond milk or your preferred milk to the tea.
If you prefer a cold drink, let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for about 30 minutes. Serve over ice cubes if desired.
Pour the matcha green tea fusion into glasses. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves if desired, and enjoy!

Nutritional Benefits:

Matcha is packed with antioxidants, particularly catechins, which help fight free radicals and support overall health. It also contains L-theanine, which promotes relaxation without drowsiness, balancing the caffeine content for sustained energy.
Adding milk provides a creamy texture and additional nutrients, while lemon slices and mint leaves offer a burst of freshness and vitamin C.
This fusion is not only delicious but also helps in enhancing focus, improving metabolism, and providing a smooth energy boost throughout the day.
