Hi, internet friends! How was your weekend? Mine was fun, but a little bit busier than I expected! Preston (the bf) and I babysat his niece and nephew for most of the weekend. It was a pretty fun weekend filled with lake time, playgrounds, ice cream, and kids movies. But it was a little ridiculous for me to expect that I’d actually get some blog writing and recipes done! Ha! New respect for mothers who make time to blog 🙂
My weekend made me feel that another busy woman’s caffeine fix was a really good idea! If you liked my busy woman’s iced mocha I posted on Friday, you’ll love this. (*Sidenote: I made a wonderful dessert last night with my mocha recipe’s chocolate almond milk ice cubes. I’ll post a quick recipe today on the florafoodie facebook page.)
I recently posted a recipe for a vanilla matcha latte. It is absolutely one of my favorite new treats. I love it SO much that I really needed to find a way to make them at work. And to whip up in no time on Monday mornings after a busy weekend like mine.
So here it is!
It’s really fast and easy. In fact, this is how I always make them now unless I happen to have a niece leisurely morning or afternoon and I really want to appreciate the time spent making my treat as well as enjoying it.
It is a microwave-based drink, so you do need a microwave at work. And to not be too concerned with microwaving your food.
things to pack:
– matcha tea
– non-dairy milk of choice
– bamboo whisk (not as big a deal if you don’t have it for this method)
– sweetener if needed
– mug
how to make it:
1. Pour a small amount of water in the bottom of a mug – about 1-2 tablespoons. No more.
2. Microwave that little bit of water until it is really HOT. Only takes about 15 seconds with that little bit of water.
3. Add 1 teaspoon matcha tea to the hot water. Whisk away with your bamboo whisk, until it’s completely incorporated. If you don’t have a whisk, just use a fork. It will work pretty well.
4. Pour in your soy milk, about 1 cup (or whatever kind of milk you choose.) Add sweetener. One packet of raw sugar is the perfect amount of sweetener for me.
5. Microwave again. Takes about a minute in my work and home microwaves.
6. Stir again for good measure.
