One thing I’m always interested in is learning about new and healthy foods to add to my diet and matcha green tea is one of them. My friend Debbie sells it and that is how I got into it. I use it to make morning tea recipes or an afternoon pick me up as well. It’s also great in smoothies or even freezer candy!

What Is Matcha Green Tea?

Matcha is a variety of green tea in which you consume the whole, powdered leaf.It’s not infused with a teabag or infuser like other teas. It’s the whole tea leaf ground into a powder which you can see in the above picture. It’s agreat source of antioxidants and phytochemicals and hasmuch lesscaffeinethan coffee and tea.

How Much Caffeine In Your Morning Breakfast Drink?

I like the way matcha green tea makes me feel. It makes me feel much less jittery than black tea and yet I still feel that caffeine lift! Here is the caffeine content in each of these morning drinks.

  • ½ teaspoon matcha = 35mg
  • 8oz, brewed coffee = 162mg
  • 8oz, black tea = 42mg/8oz

So let’s get on with our healthy morning tea recipes so you can make a few healthy breakfast drinks!

1. Matcha Magic Recipe

This matcha recipe is a good one in the spring allergy season. It’s easy to remember the ingredients: MATH (Matcha, Apple Cider Vinegar, Turmeric, Honey).Matcha gives me a healthy energy boost I need in the morning but not too much of one.

Apple cider vinegar has been known for it’simmune boosting properties and promotes alkalinity and pH balance of the body.I also read where it’s acidity helps with gallbladder pain which I had at one time.

Turmeric contains curcumin which is a powerfulantioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agent.

And lastly the local honey hasantiseptic propertiesand is helpful for allergies. (For the tea recipeclick here.)

2. Minty Buttered Matcha Recipe

This matcha butter tea was my go-to drink in the mornings for a long time. Especially if I went to the gym and didn’t get a chance to eat breakfast. If you are familiar with bulletproof coffee, this is like bulletproof tea.

As breakfast drinks go, it has the benefits of matcha,coconutoil, peppermint and grass fed butter. There is something so tasty about the addition of the butter thatmakes me want to put it in everything. Click here for recipe.

3. Lemongrass Ginger Coconut Matcha Recipe

I went through a lemongrass craving and thought I would try making a drink with just a drop ofpurelemongrass essential oil since I didn’t have any fresh lemongrass on hand and it’s not that easy to find where I live.

5. Mocha Maca Matcha Recipe

This tea recipe has alot of ingredients but I feel they are all good for you and add to the taste of the drink. It’s a great healthy breakfast drink to me.

I’m not sure if it is the matcha or the maca….or perhaps both…but this drink gives me a lot of energy. Regardless this is theperfect energizing drink to start your morning;especially when a smoothie just doesn’t seem appealing. (Click here for the recipe.)
