Matcha is finely ground green tea leaves that have been whisked with hot water to turn them into a frothy, bright green liquid. And because matcha has many health benefits, it’s no wonder that people all over the world are looking for ways to incorporate this drink into their lives.

In this post, you’re going to learn how to make your own healthy iced matcha latte. But before we show you the recipe, let’s glance at the reasons why you should be drinking this regularly.

Why You Should Be Drinking Matcha Green Tea Latte More Often

In addition to the vast amount of antioxidants, what makes it most appealing, is that the amount of L-Theanine matcha contains is much higher than any other teas.

L-Theanine is a remarkable amino acid. It contributes to the flavor of the tea, giving it a vegetal savory-ness which turns to sweetness.

More importantly, this amino acid has incredible health benefits. L-Theanine directly affects your brain chemistry–it ultimately helps reduce stress levels, enhances your mood, improves cognitive ability, and boosts your immune system (2).

There are so many benefits to drinking matcha green tea daily. So next time you need a little pick me up, enjoy a cup of matcha green tea; after a month of drinking it daily you will notice a difference in your body.
