FAQs
How do I make this Cinnamon Matcha Latte healthier?
Use unsweetened almond or oat milk and skip added sweeteners. Matcha already delivers antioxidants and energy without the crash of coffee.
Can I use regular green tea instead of matcha?
Green tea won’t give the same creamy, frothy texture or vibrant color. Matcha is finely ground, making it essential for a true latte.
Can I make this Cinnamon Matcha Latte iced?
Yes! Just prepare the matcha and cinnamon mix as usual, let cool, and pour over ice with cold milk.
Does matcha have caffeine?
Yes, but it’s gentler than coffee. Matcha provides steady, focused energy without jitters, thanks to L-theanine.
