Matcha Mint Latte - Breakfast Recipe

I’m not one for new years resolutions and instead I like to try new experiences in order to keep fresh and motivated.

Once such new experience I recently tried was a taster Barre class at Blok in Shoreditch. Although I entered with very little experience, not only did I enjoy it so much that I signed up to take the classes regularly, but I also discovered the new range of Pure Leaf matcha they had on offer in their cafe!

After our Barre class we headed to the cafe for a revitalising breakfast. I sampled a Pure Leaf matcha iced latte and a creamy matcha vegan coconut porridge which was satisfyingly delicious! This breakfast was laid on as part of Pure Leaf’s #MovetoMatcha campaign and both the class and the breakfast made a perfect combination!

This healthy and nourishing breakfast led me to think about how I could incorporate more matcha into my mornings in order to revitalise my breakfast routine!

4 Benefits of Matcha:

• Antioxidants in every sip

• Slow energy release to keep you going through the day

• Calorie burner helping with weight loss

• Great for detoxing

Not only is matcha the source of a variety of health benefits, it's also really easy to use and add to drinks and dishes. I really enjoyed my rejuvenating, nutritious matcha latte and decided to recreate it at home so I can enjoy it in the mornings before a busy day.

This fast and easy recipe compliments the leafy taste of matcha green tea powder with mint and honey for a flavour balance. I used Pure Leaf’s Matcha Mint sachets for this recipe, as it is delicately flavoured with all-natural, micro-ground peppermint leaves, which gives a cool refreshing twist on a traditional matcha latte. They are also available in pre-portioned wrapped sachets perfectly portioned for a cup of matcha, avoiding any wastage.

Matcha & Mint Latte Recipe

• 300ml of hot milk (or a dairy-free alternative)

• 2 tsp honey

Method:

1. Empty one sachet of matcha mint latte in to your mug

2. Add the warm water and mix thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk until it is smooth and dark green, with no lumps.

3. Warm the milk in a small saucepan and when ready pour into the mug

4. Add the honey and mix thoroughly

5. You can froth the milk with a whisk or milk frother to taste

This smooth and delicious latte gives me the perfect gentle caffeine boost I need in the mornings. When I need a pick-up-me I enjoy mine with French toast filled with fresh fruits for an extra boost of antioxidants.
