Matcha is a superfood that has a ton of benefits and people are going crazy over it. It’s loved for its antioxidants and its ability to keep you focused, but I just love it for the taste. I absolutely love matcha and putting it in my food and drinks. However, I’m always looking for new ways to use it in foods that I love. As a result, here are seven original recipes that you can make with matcha.
