Renew Matcha Tea Latte
Imbibe this energizing and vitalizing elixir recipe with Matcha and Ashwagandha to support you in feeling renewed once again. What’s Ashwagandha? An Ayurvedic herb that supports the increase in energy, vitality, and combating stress. This recipe is inspired by my passion for Japanese culture and Ayurveda. From past travels to Japan, and time studying the fundamentals of Ayurveda through Banyan Botanicals LAI program in 2020. My love for green tea began in Tokyo, sipping Matcha at the Hama Rikyu tea house and garden. See recipe below…
About
With ingredients from two favorite businesses, who offer high quality organic Matcha and Ayurvedic herbs, Mizuba Tea Co. and Banyan Botanicals. I invite you pair this recipe with the divine cacao chip cookies to elevate your experience, as a healthy snack or sweet!
Supporting businesses that reflect similar values, how they care for their employees and the Earth, to the people who tend the land and grow the plants, is an important piece to my cooking and the ingredients I choose. I understand the happiness of the employees as being reflected in the quality and care of the food, in turn affecting our bodies.
Imbibing tea is an important daily ritual to me, to create space in today’s busy and fast paced life to reconnect to body, mind and soul.

Renew Matcha Tea Latte
3/4 tsp Mizuba Matcha
1/2 TBS Maple Syrup
1 oz Hot Water
5 oz chilled Coconut / Macadamia Milk
Directions
To prepare hot or chilled, heat 1 oz water to begin.
CHILLED - Add matcha and ashwagandha powders to small bowl. Pour 1 oz hot water and whisk in a circular motion until fully incorporated. Next, pour chilled milk and syrup into bowl whisking together. If you’d like the matcha to be even colder, I invite you to add a small handful of ice (less ice less diluted) to a +16 oz tin shaker / glass jar w/ lid. Pour ingredients over ice add top tin / lid + shake 5x. Strain through metal strainer. Enjoy!
HEATED - Heat milk in small pot until vapors rise. Add Matcha and Ashwagandha powders to small bowl. Pour 1 oz hot water and whisk in a circular motion until powders are mixed into liquid. Next, add heated milk and maple syrup. If you don’t have a whisk, pour into an insulated coffee/tea to-go mug w/ sealing lid, shake 5x. Strain through metal strainer (optional). Option 2, add to heat resistant large vessel using an immersion blender / electric whisk. Or, add to blender. CAUTION - blenders w/o locking lids can pop off and potentially burn, this happened to me, I don’t want it to happen to you!
