Pistachio matcha latte

This year pistachios are simply everywhere – from desserts to hot drinks and even savoury dishes! And for good reason. Pistachio really adds a touch of sophistication and exoticism to classic recipes. And as we all know by now, matcha is my favourite drink, which I have every day – in a hot version in winter and a cold one in summer. Just at the right moment, I came up with a combination – what if I paired the comfort of matcha with the pistachio trend? Oh yes, that's it, a pistachio matcha latte. Warm, creamy and perfect for those cosy moments when you want to wrap yourself in a blanket and enjoy some peace.

Matcha is something unique in itself. It is a finely ground powder made from green tea leaves, used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. Besides its refined flavour, it has plenty of benefits for your body and mind. I love it because it is the perfect combination of relaxation and focus – something that really comes in handy in a busy everyday life.

Why is matcha so special?

I have been swearing by the matcha from Zen Oaza for years, because it has just the right aroma that takes me straight back to Japan in an instant. If you haven't tried it yet, now is the perfect time, because this latte will show you how incredibly well it goes with the flavour of pistachios.

A pistachio matcha latte is not just delicious, it is also a real treat for the soul. The creamy flavour of pistachios, the natural sweetness of dates and that divine note of matcha create a drink that will warm you up and send you into a state of zen.

It is quick and easy to make – ideal for lazy afternoons or whenever you need a short break. On top of that it looks gorgeous, with a distinctive green colour that practically begs to be posted on Instagram. What are you waiting for? 😊
