I made matcha cool.

Well, actually the Japanese did. But anyone who’s known me over the last decade knows I was at the forefront of bringing matcha to the mainstream.

MATCHA HAD ME started in hopes of becoming a fashion blog. As it’s seen many seasons of change, I’m glad to have been able to share my experiences, my travels, my thoughts, my art, my festivals and so much more with everyone. Matcha just do be having me in all aspects of life.

As I grow + change, as does MHM. It’s fun to see where this journey goes. And all doing so with matcha by my side.

Here’s my official MATCHA HAD ME matcha latte recipe!

Make sure you have a ceremonial grade matcha powder (NOT a premade latte blend!). I like the Encha and Jade Leaf ones, which you can buy by the pound from Amazon.

STEP ONE

STEP TWO

Get a large glass and fill it half way with ice. Then, fill it about half way or so with the milk of your choice – I usually go for an unsweetened original almond milk!

STEP THREE

Fill a smaller glass about 1/3 of the way with cold water. Sprinkle a lil cinnamon in it and about 1/2 a tablespoon of your matcha powder in it.

STEP FOUR

Use an electronic hand whisk (I like the one from Golde!) and mix away for ~20-30 seconds.

STEP FIVE

Pour the matcha contents of the smaller glass over the milk + ice in the larger glass. Fill up any remaining space with water, pop a metal straw in and enjoy!
