Enjoy a caffeine free warm drink of moringa latte.
I am an avid enthusiast of matcha latte, coffee, and hot chocolate, yet I am consciously reducing my caffeine intake due to its impact on my adrenals.
Discovering Moringa was a great revelation. not only is it caffeine-free, but it can also be prepared as a latte. I occasionally indulge in this warm drink for breakfast, accompanied by a nutritious bowl of quinoa flakes porridge adorned with fresh fruit.
Ingredients
Use a good quality organic moringa powder, with your preferred sweetener of choice and milk. So simple!
Janelle's Tips
- Moringa possesses a subtle bitterness reminiscent of matcha. If you're new to this super food, start with half a teaspoon and gradually increase the amount. I find that one teaspoon is ideal for a generously sized mug.
- If you prefer less milk, mix the moringa powder with hot water before adding your desired amount of milk. For added richness, consider making a cashew creamer.
- If you seek a caffeine boost, combine equal parts of moringa powder and matcha powder for your latte.
