What is matcha?

Matcha is a ground type of green tea leaf; there are two primary grades of matcha: ceremonial and culinary. The purest is the ceremonial one; it is intended to be dissolved in hot water and drank hot tea. This matcha has vibrant lime green, and it’s made with younger leaves from the first harvest.

The culinary grade, which is more affordable, has a deeper green hue, and it is made for baking, matcha latte, and smoothies.

What are the benefits of matcha tea?

Matcha is delicious, vibrant in color, and refreshing! But it also has tons of health benefits. Did you know that matcha has a superpower to help us calm our minds? It also has the power to boost our metabolism, and it is a powerhouse of antioxidants and vitamins.

What is authentic Mexican horchata horchata?

Horchata is a very common agua fresca in Mexico’s culinary world. You will find horchata in every Mexican food menu, in every agua frescas cart, or paleterías.

The authentic recipe consists of white rice, cinnamon, sugar, and water. This recipe is for a vegan horchata (dairy-free), and I make mine with brown rice. Other recipes have condensed milk, milk, or even evaporated milk. You could use either oat as I did in my recipe for vegan and healthy Mexican horchata.

Here are some tips and tricks for buying matcha

  • Please read the labels of everything you buy. And yes, matcha too. Look for one that is organic, pure, and has no extra ingredients.
  • You could also prepare this drink with store-bought rice or dairy-free milk.
  • If you are using store-bought milk, you could skip the blending process and use a mason jar; here is a video to see what I’m talking about matcha latte.
