(Iced) Turmeric Ginger Matcha Latte

Matcha Ice Cubes:

• 1 Messerspitze (ca. ¼ TL) Matchapulver
• 50 ml kochendes Wasser
• Matcha Besen
• 100 ml kaltes Wasser
• Eiswürfelform

Für die Matcha Ice Cubes einfach einen Matcha Tee zubereiten. Dafür das Matchapulver in einer Schüssel mit kochendem Wasser übergießen und mit dem Matcha Besen gut verquirlen (Anleitung hier). Anschließend mit kaltem Wasser auffüllen und in die Eiswürfelform gießen. Mindestens 3-4h einfrieren.

Für den Turmeric Ginger Matcha Latte dann ganz einfach Kurkuma und Ingwer in einem Glas mit etwas Wasser vermengen. Mit der kalten Milch nach Wahl auffüllen und je 3-4 der Matcha Ice Cubes dazugeben. Uns reicht die Süße der Milch, wer es allerdings noch einen Tick süßer mag kann auch mit ein bisschen Agavendicksaft nachhelfen. Enjoy!

Hot Summer Tipp: Ihr habt Lust auf einen Match Slushy? Dann das ganze Glas einfach in einen Mixer leeren und gut verblenden. Super lecker, ein richtiger Immune-Booster, belebend und kühlend. Was will man mehr?

EN: When it comes to hot beverages (or cold drinks), we belong more to Team Coffee than Matcha. Of course, there are also players who play in both teams, but until now (!) we could only rarely be won for the bright green tea. However, if you head to New York City, a stop at the super stylish ChaCha Matcha is sort of a must. And of course you don’t go there to order coffee, right? You guessed it: Lots of matcha is on the menu! Luckily we got the tip “Turmeric Ginger Matcha Latte” from a good friend. And the cold Matcha Latte with a twist did not disappoint! We liked it so much that we haven’t been able to get it out of our heads since then. Which is why we decided to give it a go ourselves – especially with the current high summer temperatures. They say self-praise stinks, but this cold Turmeric Ginger Matcha Latte is a keeper for sure!

For the Matcha Ice Cubes simply make approx. 100 – 150 ml of Matcha tea. Pour boiling water (80°C) over the Matcha powder in a bowl and whisk well with the Matcha broom until frothy/foamy (or follow the instructions here). Then top up with cold water and pour into the ice cube mould. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours.

For the Turmeric Ginger Matcha Latte, simply mix about 1/4 tsp turmeric and1/4 tsp ginger together in a glass with a little water (or milk). Fill with 150ml of cold milk of your choice and add 3-4 Matcha Ice Cubes each. For us, the sweetness of the milk is enough, but if you like it a bit sweeter you can also add a little bit of agave nectar or  coconut sugar. Enjoy!

PS. Want a slushy? Simply pour then entire cup into a mixer and blend well. Perfect for those hot summer days.
