Oat Matcha Latte

This got me off coffee. Or at least gave me the choice.

3/4 cup oat milk
1/4 water
1 tsp matcha
0.5 tsp stevia

Blend in magic billet.
Heat in pot and serve.

Very different energetic experience of caffeine. Calm and focussing, vs the happy and jumpy of coffee.

Cook in a greased frying pan over medium heat, al...
