Intro
My first encounter with matcha was in the infamous Starbucks. After long walks and tiresome summer outings, a refreshing iced matcha latte would quench my thirst. The ice-cold tea would do wonders in the summer, but what about winter?
In my experience, matcha can be easily experimented with, it can be added to your coffees, teas, muffins, cookies, and everything above and beyond. It tasted super good in the well-liked matcha lemonade from WAWA, but that was during a hot summer afternoon. My brain said this is the lemonade of life.
With the chilling winters and hibernations in the watch, a good cup of hot matcha latte would make a difference. This recipe is customizable, with little to no effort, and amazingly prepared at lightning speed. All you gotta have is a microwave oven and a handy dandy whisk. Without any further ado, let's look at our illustrations for this quick Gotcha Matcha.
