Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2) Matcha is a concentrated powdered form of green tea leaves. It is known to have many neurological benefits and the caffeine + amino acid (L-Theanine) in it has a synergistic effect without all the jittery effects of coffee. Matcha is most commonly made as a tea or a latte. It is traditionally prepared in a matcha bowl and mixed with a matcha whisk, however, this recipe will use a handheld frother instead of a whisk for the modern twist!
