Festive and comforting Peppermint Cocoa Matcha Latte! A fun way to zenergize during the hectic holiday season. (Vegan, gluten-free)
Happy holidays! It’s that magical time of year. December makes my heart oh so happy. Excitement, happiness, and kindness flow freely with anticipation of the holiday. Although inevitably, it can get a little hectic sometimes too. That’s when I love to decompress and take quiet moments to enjoy the beauty and peace that surrounds us. Matcha is always my go-to magic ingredient to realign my thoughts in a positive way. While many of you know my favorite way to enjoy it is pure whisked tea, a comforting latte can sure be a special treat too! This one has warm, festive flavors of cocoa and peppermint (yum!) to zenergize your mind through the busy holiday season. Sending peace and joy to you all!
