This month has been full of chilly nights. Whenever I get home all I can think about is getting warmed up with a blanket and a warm drink. This Macha Hot Toddy is the perfect elixir to warm your soul and elevate your spirits.
Beyond its traditional use for morning lattes, matcha reveals a long list of health benefits. This vibrant green tea is abundant in vitamin C which is crucial for our immune systems, and features EGCG, renowned for its anti-Inflammatory attributes and its ability to combat pathogens.
Whiskey is a muscle relaxer and overall provides a warming effect. In this recipe I used Hatozaki Whisky for a warm and smooth taste. Hatozaki Whisky offers a delightful journey into the world of Japanese spirits, showcasing a perfect balance of heritage and innovation.
Fresh lemon juice is a must for this recipe. Lemon can help loosen up congestion and is a good vitamin C source. And did I mention the flavor combination of lemon and matcha is a matcha made in heaven.
Feel free to sweeten this drink up to your preference. Honey is known for having healing properties, such as containing antibacterial and antifungal properties, and being high in antioxidants. I recommend buying local honey if you can!
Whether you’re curled up with a good book or simply basking in the quiet of your own company, let this Matcha Hot Toddy be your companion in moments of tranquility.
