What is Chocomatcha?

What: Chocomatcha is this amazing drink: a mixture of pure cocoa powder and matcha green tea powder.  For my chocomatcha I like to use organic unsweetened almond milk and no sweetners or other additives.

Why: Chocomatcha is a very refreshing drink which undoubtedly is beneficial to drink.  The benefits of chocolate – particularly pure, unsweetened chocolate, and green-tea are well-known.  Chocomatcha just combines the two together into an incredibly refreshing and invigorating drink which can be enjoyed any time.

How: Just add the same amount of pure cocoa powder that one would to make hot chocolate.  I prefer to make  a cup with about 150 ml water, a heaping teaspoon or so of chocolate, and a couple thimblefulls of matcha powder.  One can use one of those matcha mixing thingamajiggies or just use a plastic spoon like I do.  I like to serve it with the plastic spoon in the cup and stir it as I drink it since the mixtures tend to sediment at the bottom.  150 ml of water is a smallish-cup amount.  Its a bit more I think that a traditional amount of matcha tea would be, but less than a big cup of hot chocolate that most are accustomed to.
