As I navigate through this world of GI issues I am having, I find myself discovering new recipes, new drinks and creating new meals and beverages. I was reminiscing about Christmas time and how great I was feeling and then started thinking about food (my all day every day thoughts, ha!) and how much I love peppermint lattes.

But was it the coffee that I loved in that recipe or the peppermint? We all know I love coffee, but I’ve been trying to drink less of it lately. So I figured why not make a peppermint latte using matcha instead of the coffee!

It’s definitely a different flavor profile, but I think it’s delicious! It’s easy and now there are so many more accessible styles of matcha, even instant matcha where you don’t need a bamboo matcha whisk or a proper matcha bowl. Matcha for everyone!

I sampled this latte with all different kinds of milk: whole milk, hemp milk, almond milk, oat milk. They are all delicious. So pick your favorite milk and whip up this little anytime treat!

Stay safe out there, Drizzlers!
