Matcha Collagen Latte Recipe

Elevate your morning routine with a soothing and nutritious Matcha Collagen Latte. This vibrant green beverage not only offers the serene energy boost associated with matcha but also incorporates the health benefits of MulZi-collagen, making it a perfect choice for those looking to support their skin, hair, nails, and joint health. Matcha, a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves, is renowned for its high antioxidant content, while collagen peptides provide essential proteins. This recipe combines these powerhouse ingredients into a delicious, frothy latte that you can enjoy at any time of the day.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
• 2 tablespoons hot water (not boiling, around 175°F or 80°C)
• 1 scoop MulZi-collagen powder
• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• Honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
• A pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Matcha: Start by sifting your matcha powder into a small bowl to remove any clumps. This ensures a smooth texture in your latte. Add the hot water and whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until the matcha becomes frothy. Using a traditional bamboo whisk (chasen) is recommended for best results, but a small regular whisk can work as well.

2. Dissolve the Collagen: In a separate cup, mix the MulZi-collagen powder with a small amount of warm water or milk until it's fully dissolved. This step helps to ensure that the collagen integrates smoothly into your latte without clumping.

3. Heat and Froth the Milk: Warm your milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling, or use a microwave-safe container and heat it in the microwave for about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Avoid boiling to preserve the nutrients in your milk. If you have a milk frother, use it to froth the milk until it's nice and creamy. Alternatively, you can use a blender by blending the milk on high for a few seconds to achieve a similar frothy texture.

4. Combine and Serve: Pour the dissolved MulZi-collagen and matcha mixture into a large mug. Add the frothed milk, gently stirring to combine everything evenly. If you're using honey or another sweetener, add it to your liking at this stage.

5. Final Touches: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or add a few drops of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor, if desired. Give it a final gentle stir.

6. Enjoy: Savor your Matcha Collagen Latte immediately, relishing in the blend of energizing matcha and nourishing collagen. It's the perfect drink to kickstart your day or to enjoy as a peaceful mid-afternoon break.

This Matcha Collagen Latte is not just a beverage but a ritual that invites you to slow down and focus on the moment. Its combination of health benefits and exquisite taste makes it a delightful addition to any daily routine. Enjoy your crafting process and the boost of wellness this drink brings.
