Part of the reason that matcha has become so popular recently is that it is full of health benefits! Matcha is bursting with antioxidants, which are useful for combatting inflammation and may even help decrease the chance of getting cancer. Studies have shown potential benefits from drinking matcha on heart health and the cardiovascular system, as well as an aid to weight loss and gut health. Matcha also contains L-Theanine, a chemical that has been associated with increased calmness and improved sleep quality, which can help to mitigate some of the less desirable side effects of caffeine. How Do You Make Matcha? 1. Add ½ Tsp of Matcha Powder 2. Heat the Water to 60 - 70°C 3. Add a small amount of the hot water - enough to create a thin paste, a bit like an espresso shot 5.
