If green-tea ice cream before noon isn't on your schedule, this rich but healthy cold treat should be.I've written about fruit smoothies with matcha (powdered green tea) before, but recently, a massive recipe reorganization led me to discover some other drinks that I've been holding onto for over a decade. How something that seemed so essential to my daily intake managed to be filed away for that long is a bit of a mystery. Well, I can ponder it while sipping this creamy, antioxidant powerhouse brew.
It's a good anecdote to yesterday's decadence, and with hope, today's (making matcha cookies are the plan for the afternoon). Drink this every morning, and you may just live forever.

Place all ingredients except matcha in a blender, and process until smooth. Pour into glasses, and sift matcha on top. Serve immediately.

Sounds really good--I want to drink some with some matcha cookies.
Any mail order places you'd recommend for buying Matcha?
why yes.
www.matchasource.com. i saw the founder speak at an annual tea festival here in ny a few years back, and she was really knowledgeable yet humble.
i haven't gotten around to ordering anything from her yet, but i definitely should get on that, seeing as i sadly ran out of matcha today before the great cookie experiment was done.
i am a bad gluten-free friend.
