If you love matcha lattes and want to enjoy them more frequently on a budget then this is the option for you!
I use a little bit of a sweetener with it (honey, caramel, strawberry, or other syrups) and it is wonderful to experiment the limitless combos with it. A friend liked it with banana milk if you want to try it too :3!
