Matcha and Mellows: An Afternoon Pick-Me-Up
A cup of matcha is my favorite pick-me-up for that mid-afternoon slump. It’s also a fun ritual to break out the matcha bowl and bamboo whisk (“chasen”.) On the flip side, I’ll use a hand-held milk frother when I’m in a mad rush. I usually prefer my matcha and coffee beverages plain but every once in awhile I’ll treat myself with a little touch of honey or by a melting in a pillowy marshmallow.

Directions:
1. Add matcha powder to a small bowl and slowly pour in 2 teaspoons hot water. Whisk with a bamboo matcha whisk to form a uniform paste.
