Dream Matcha / Focus Supplements

Matcha is a green Japanese powder consisting of the Tencha tree tea leaves. About four weeks before harvesting, the Matcha trees need to be kept in the shade to get their dark green colour. So as you can imagine, Matcha is quite a posh, delicate type of tea. The ritual of preparing it is very spiritual and almost religious, but lately also a lot of cool kids and health freaks have discovered it:

The Matcha powder boosts your energy, increases your metabolism and contains antioxidants, which are great for your skin! If you are on a diet, Matcha Green Tea can definitely be a great addition to reach your goal. You can drink it as a tee or maybe add a spoon to your smoothie or even foods and desserts. Matcha tea is usually quite expensive, but at focussupplements you get a bag which contains enough powder for 30 servings, for only 11 Pound at the Moment!!! (get it here)

How do you make a Matcha tea?

Basically you add about one and a half teaspoon (or more) to a bit of water and stir it until it resolves. Then add more hot water and stir fast or use a whisk to get rid of little bits of powder. (It does taste great with them as well though ;)

Another good idea is using it for Smoothie Bowls! I make mine with yogurt, almond milk, berries, acai, kiwi and some Matcha!*

How do you like yours?!

A day in: Düsseldorf

Orochata / Licor 43

About a month ago, Licor 43 invited me to a beautiful Spanish evening full of flamenco, tapas and drinks at Zimmer No 1 in Düsseldorf. I don´t think an evening could be any more on point. On top of that we got to try their delicious new  drink “Orochata” - a white milky drink with a slightly nutty taste and the licor sweetness. I usually tend to drink licor with milk but sometimes it can be a bit too much because milk can make me feel ill and I try to use as little dairy as possible. To me it´s important to buy eggs and milk from local farms and sometimes it´s simply not possible. Luckily Orochata, which is a twist on the Spanish drink Horchata, is made of a special nut milk and therefore vegan. It´s a perfect refreshing vegan summer drink that takes you straight to Spain but with the slight cinnamon flavour I can also imagine drinking it in front of the fireplace while wearing a cozy knit jumper!
