Green Tea Latte

        Powdered Green Tea (Matcha)
        Milk
        Sweetener of choice  (sugar, syrup, honey, sugar substitute, etc)


With all the many health benefits of green tea, this drink is a great addition to any day!  Serve hot or cold, strong or weak, sweet or not so sweet....make it to your taste!  

Be sure to get matcha powdered green tea.  It is the consistency of powdered sugar but green.  Usual green tea leaves will not work.  You can find matcha in your local asian market. 

If you are using real sugar for the sweetener, heat milk and dissolve sugar first.  then add the matcha and mix.  Simple!  Sugar substitute or honey can be used as well.  Great for diabetics or dieters.

 I love this website! That's where I found this yummy pancake recipe. Don't forget the sugar free syrup and go easy with the butter! :)

When you're beating the egg whites, make sure you get them pretty stiff because that's what's going to make your pancakes light and fluffy. Enjoy!




Ingredients
3/4 c. cake flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. skim milk

  1. Sprinkle dash of salt on egg whites and beat until stiff, but not dry.
  2. Add milk to flour and salt. Beat until smooth.
  3. Add baking powder and beat a few seconds more
  4. Fold in beaten egg whites.
  5. Make pancakes!
