Pictured above is a freshly made Matcha Oatmeal with almond milk, pine nuts, almond pieces and sweet red beans.  It is delicious, packed full of nutrients and energizing.

It is very easy to prepare. First, make an oatmeal like you normally would. We put in almond milk just because we like how it tastes. Alternatively, you can use regular milk, coconut milk  or rice milk.

Second, whisk 1 teaspoon of Matcha with 1-2 ounces of water to make a thick/dense matcha green tea and add it to the oatmeal. 

Finally, put some nuts, and/or fruits according to your preference. We like to use pine nuts , cut up almonds and sweet red beans.

Traditional Matcha Brewing

Prepare tea bowls by warming them with boiled water.

Prepare your Matcha whisk by soaking the tip in the boiled water in one of the bowls for about 10 seconds.

Pour the water out and dry the bowl with a paper towel.

Using your tea spoon, according to taste, add 1-2 teaspoons of Matcha to each bowl.

Pour 1/3 of a cup of your hot water into each bowl.

In a slow "m' motion, submerge any loose bits of Matcha that may be floating on the surface of the tea.

Whisk the tea more briskly in a back and forth motion until the surface of the Matcha becomes frothy.

Consume immediately.

Matcha is not only an energy booster. It is also packed with nutrients such as antioxidants, amino acids, dietary fiber, carotene, and vitamins. Adding Matcha to smoothies is a delicious and easy way to introduce this superfood into our diet.
