Tea quote #17

Matcha!

Ok, so I’m a bit obsessed with matcha just now!  I’ve been mixing matcha with herbs to make some homemade iced tea goodness.  This picture below was a great mix of nettle, peppermint, white matcha & sencha.  I put it all in a 1L water bottle overnight and drank it throughout the day at work and I loved it!

Making matcha is soo easy.  Once you have the powder you can add it to a cold drink and shake it to mix it up.  Or you can mix it up first and then drink it or add it to whatever you’re making.  If you don’t have a whisk you can use a spoon or a spatula to mix it up.  You can use it with all sorts of things and we’ll post more ideas and recipes as time goes on.  Do you have any recipes to share?

Tea fact #5

Possibly my favourite fact so far, only because I love the idea of gin being the drink of the masses!

By the mid 18th c. tea replaced ale & gin as the drink of the masses to become Britain’s most popular beverage. (from tea.co.uk)

Women are like tea bags. They do not know how strong they are until they get into hot water.
