Ingredients
- 1 cup water (hot or cold)
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 Medjool dates , pitted
- 1 teaspoon almond butter or cashew butter
Instructions
- For a warm drink, use boiled water, and for an iced drink use cold or room temperature water.
- In a blender, combine the water, dates, almond butter and matcha. Blend until the dates have totally broken down and the mixture looks creamy.
- Taste and adjust the ingredients as needed to your taste. I typically use 1/2 teaspoon of matcha to keep the caffeine lower, but 1 teaspoon will have more and a stronger matcha flavor.
- If you don't have a high-speed blender, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any bits of date that didn't get blended, directly into your cup. Serve right away, and over ice for a chilled drink.
