This menu brings me to past moments traveling to Japan and Indonesia for the first time with dear friends. Who motivated me to get out of my comfort zone; to try new foods and experiences that continue to influence me today. I am equally inspired by these countries cultures and traditions. This is where my love and reverence for them began. To learn about their unique ways of being; from people, places, and through plants. And, I think this is where my love for green tea began too! The photos below are from my travels mentioned above.

I love this pairing because it is healthy, equally energizing as a snack before lunch or dinner, with predominantly sweet and bitter tastes.

ENERGIZE ELIXIR MENU

Ashwagandha, an Ayurvedic herb that I appreciate for its strengthening and vitalizing herbal properties; read more about it here. Mixed with matcha powder and coconut milk for a delightfully stimulating matcha tea latte. These paired with the cacao chip cookies support an elevation in mood and energizing experience.

Music is an important ingredient of the recipe making and enjoying process for me. Loving this peaceful playlist while enjoying and making this menu!
