How to Make Matcha Tea (Hot or Cold)
I make matcha tea every day . . . well, actually, twice a day. It has replaced my morning coffee, and I love it in the evenings as well. You'll get no jitters from matcha because it is a different kind of caffeine that induces a calm state. It has skin-promoting and skin-healing qualities and can even help you lose weight, which I myself have noticed. Check out my article to learn more: Matcha Tea and Me.
