Switching from coffee to matcha has changed my life. Matcha does not give me the same jitters that coffee does. I have also found that matcha gives me good focusing power. This cinnamon matcha latte is my favorite way to enjoy matcha.
Matcha is full of health benefits. It has antioxidants and l-theanine which helps keep you calm. Matcha also has a high chlorophyll content which will make your skin glow.
I love matcha! For more yummy matcha recipes try my matcha chia pudding or my mint matcha cookies.

Recipe FAQ
The KEY to a good matcha latte is using a high quality ceremonial grade matcha. Ceremonial grade matcha is not bitter or fishy like some of the cheaper brands. It has a rich smooth taste. My favorite is Matcha Kari morning ritual matcha which you can use code AVOCADOSKILLET for 20% off of. I like this matcha because it is organic and has a good taste.
I love my bodum bistro frother.
Matcha has a green tea taste. If your matcha tastes like grass or fish you are using a bad quality matcha.
