This 3-Step Vegan Matcha Latte Has Been The Antioxidant-Rich Secret To My Health This Year

My favorite Editor was feeling under the weather yesterday. All I wanted was to make her a vegan iced matcha latte. With distance forbidding it, I instead decided to write up this quick, easy recipe. I made it to be vegan and organic for optimal health benefits.

Matcha green tea is made from grounded green tea leaf and it comes with the most antioxidant boost ever.

Matcha is an anti-carcinogen. This is because matcha contains a class of antioxidants called catechins and has high levels of it called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). Matcha is also known to increase brain function, protect the liver, and mitigate type 2 diabetes.

A 2014 study looked at 25 randomized controlled trials on the link between tea and blood pressure and reported that when people drank tea—especially green tea—for 12 weeks, their blood pressure dropped significantly.

Let's get into making one!

Boil Water

Measure out 1/4 of your cup with water and pour it into any pot to boil.

I use USDA organic matcha powder. You can put as much as you'd like. The packaging comes with a measuring spoon. Stir the powder and the boiling water together until it is a unified concoction. Be sure not to exceed the overdosing amount. WebMD has specific grams in accordance to your blood pressure.

Sweetener: brown sugar, cinnamon, Himalayan salt, nutmeg, and or cocoa.

Turn off the stove. Set aside the pot. Pour the mixture over some ice and your go-to milk alternative in a glass, & voilà!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
