If you’re a superfan of green tea like I am, (with so many benefits, who isn’t a superfan?), you might want to start looking into matcha, a finely-ground version of green tea. Matcha can be poured directly into hot water rather than steeping the leaves first. The benefits are endless and obviously similar to green tea, since they’re both jam-packed with antioxidants and boost metabolism.
So, what better way to rev up your happy hour cocktail than with a healthy addition like matcha? With a taste of this matcha cocktail, using a recipe courtesy of PANATEA, you’ll get the buzz and the benefits!
