Matcha Latte & Matcha Cream Cookies
If you enjoy the Starbucks Matcha Tea Latte then you are going to love making this healthy version at home with my refined sugar-free plant based recipe. The Matcha Tea Latte from Starbucks is 50% sugar so even though you are making a wiser choice choosing green tea over coffee, you are drinking loads of sugar. This Matcha Latte recipe uses date syrup instead which is a healthy sweetener alternative. Now match this tasty latte with these lightly sweet matcha flavored cookies topped with a matcha cream frosting and you are in matcha heaven!

I saw your recipes on “y tube “ and would like to know more about your cooking class. I found a similar plant base cooking class 20 minutes away from my house
I would like to see your classes first before I join a class
because I live your recipes.
I am not offering any in person or online classes at this point, sorry.
I just watched this video on YouTube, but the brand of Matcha power is not the one I see here. There was also supposed to be a link to the tea glasses. Did I miss something?
