How to make the perfect matcha -Turmeric and Matcha Latte Recipe
Turmeric and Matcha together? How many more wacky coffee cocktail concoctions can there be?! This blend may seem far fetched to some. But there are some of you out there who may already be aware of the recently raved-about benefits of turmeric. Turmeric is a superfood that we should all be including in our diets.
TURMERIC: 🍂
- A herbaceous plant from the ginger family
- A deep warm orange powder
- It was first used as ancient Chinese medicine and a dye
- Circuminis the active ingredient in Turmeric that has been found to contain high levels of antioxidants and be a very powerful anti-inflamatory. Anti-inflamation is essential to repairing cells in the body and warning of disease and bugs
- Turmeric is also very successful at reducing age related diseases- much like Matcha!
MATCHA: 🍃
- A shade-grown, ground, green tea leaf naturally very rich is antioxidants and amino acids
- When you drink matcha you are consuming the entire leaf; not an infusion!
- One cup of Matcha is equivalent to 10-15 times the nutrients of regular green tea
