Matcha Latte

An herbal tea that has a savory nutty flavor and aroma. This Civil War-era coffee substitute is making a comeback.

Ingradients:

- 1 cup fat free mile ( almond milk, soy milk, rice milk)
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- Honey upon your taste


Preparation:

Bring 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, or cow's milk to a bare simmer in a small pot over medium-high heat.

Place 1 teaspoon matcha powder in a heatproof cup. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup boiling water, then almond milk, tipping cup slightly to help create more foam. Sweeten with agave syrup.

Matcha (green tea powder) is available at Japanese markets and other Asian markets, Wholefoods has it as well.
