ICED CAFÉ MATCHA-CINO
Recipe created by Teri Gentes Permission required to republish
There are times when coffee calls my name. It’s the romance of it all – the smell, the ritual of grinding my organic, decaf beans and inhaling the heady aroma with sheer joy. I go through phases where I relish in the process of making and sipping coffee. It’s not the caffeine I love – it’s the bitter, bold, dark taste that has such a personality. Perfection! I prefer it black Americano style with only an occasional cappuccino or soy latte when I want a longer lasting beverage.
Other times, I am all over Dandy blend. Frothy, slightly sweet and perfect as is or with foamed non-dairy milk! Be it mid-morning or early aft or even in the evening if you long for an iced café you have the most perfect options here.
Adding Ormus greens and matcha tea is the perfect pick me up after lunch. While going out for coffee may be fun on occasion, know you can make an equally impressive frosty latte at home. Give it a try and let me know how you like it.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup organic coconut, soy or almond milk
1 cup chilled espresso strength coffee or Dandy Blend
1 tsp each Ormus greens and matcha powder, optional
3/4 to 1 cup crushed ice
GARNISH: Cacao powder, ground coffee, cinnamon, chili flakes, etc.

TERI`S TIPS
- A few tsp of Sunwarrior protein powder makes for a creamier concoction and a tbsp of raw cacao powder is perfect for any chocolate cravings.
- Find Sunwarrior products at www.rawelements.ca in Canada and use teri as a discount code
- Add stevia, honey or Lakanto if you need an additional touch of sweetness.
- No high speed blender? Use a Salton frother. It works perfectly. Check it out here. I use mine everyday. Use the code Teri15 and save 15%.
