Matcha Green Tea is a green powdered tea leaf that is used for drinking or can be enjoyed in baked goods. There are different qualities of Matcha green tea, so be sure to grab the Ceremonial grade matcha that is the highest quality for drinking.

Honey is the sweetener for the Green Tea Latte. I love buying local raw honey that can be healing to your seasonal allergies.

Almond Milk There are a variety of almond milk options to choose from and I love using a vanilla almond milk to add a slightly sweet flavor. Other milk options that work great are coconut milk, oat milk or a classic cows milk.
