This Matcha Ginger Aide is the perfect light and refreshing afternoon pick-me-up. It gently gives you a boost of energy while supercharging your body with EGCGs, appropriately coined “Tumor Terminators”. Please sip and read this blog post to learn the factual reasons matcha was critical during my healing journeys and why I drink it daily for maintenance.
The ginger reduces inflammation and increases serotonin and dopamine levels (your happiness hormones). The phrase “afternoon delight” takes on a very literal meaning after a few sips of my Matcha Ginger Aide 😉
Cheers!
Side note: I ONLY drink Superfood Science Matcha Tea powder because it is organic and does NOT include horrible artificial preservatives, flavors, or fillers. Other brands could be filled with sugar, lead, and other dangerous additives.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup filtered water (or more depending on your cup size)
- 1-2 tsp of your favorite Matcha Powder
- 2 inches ginger, peeled
- A few drops of stevia to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Sparkly water to top off
- Ice
Directions:
- In a blender combine your ginger, stevia, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of filtered water. Blend until ginger is blended up
- In your desired cup, filter out using a fine mesh strainer the blended ginger and lemon mixture so as to filter out any ginger chunks remaining
- In a separate cup mix your matcha and the other 1/2 cup of water as you normally would, until the matcha is very well mixed in
- Put some ice cups in the cup with your ginger & lemon mixture and pour matcha over the top
- Top off with some sparkly water (filtered and clean water- like from a soda stream) and enjoy!
