Sure, green Gamechangers are pretty damn tempting, but if you, like us, need to work til at least 5 p.m. this St. Patrick’s Day, there’s another green drink option that will keep you alert and buzzin’ til happy hour. Enter: matcha lattes.
Matcha — a finely ground green tea powder — has been a trendy ingredient for a couple of years now, but some trends are meant to stay (it does harken back to 12th century Japan, after all).
