Frothy Iced Matcha Green Tea Recipe

 

Sofrito Lovers,

Get ready to thank me!  Posted below is a DELICIOUS, REFRESHING, AND SIMPLE recipe for Frothy Iced Matcha Green tea.  Matcha Green tea is a refined talc-like powder made from ground green tea leaves that has an amazing earthy flavor.  I don't care for warm green tea, but when served cold, with some sugar, it's wonderful!

The recipe posted below, from Serious Eats, is fast, fun, and frothy!  Besides the delicious flavor, green tea is full of anti-oxidants, vitamins, and minerals.  Matcha Green tea is considered a super food in Chinese medicine; it's often added to other medicinal health drinks.
