This Green Tea Latte is a healthy and delicious drink, perfect for a cold day. This recipe uses bagged green tea, condensed almond milk and spices for flavor!
Mach became all the rage. I am hooked, many of you are hooked and now it is on almost every coffee shop menu out there! Big chains like Starbucks are also getting on board.
But matcha isn’t for everyone. For starters, it has a super bitter taste. It’s also pretty darn pricey. And the quality of the tea makes all the difference. There are so many crappy matcha powders out there that can totally ruin your latte!
So I want to share a Green Tea Latte recipe that doesn’t use matcha at all! It uses simple bagged green tea so it’s affordable and simple, but still absolutely delicious. This refreshing latte is easy to make, uses only 6 ingredients, tastes amazing and is still super energizing!
