Dear matcha lovers, want to survive the heat?
Spring is still here, but summer is fast approaching. Heat means an urgent need to cool down! And what’s better than a fresh, homemade, healthy and yummy drink to quench your thirst?

Matcha, rich in antioxidants (especially catechins), helps protect the skin from sun damage and naturally boosts long-term energy, in contrary to coffee, which can cause a crash.
And when you pair it with vitamin C, like in citrus fruits or blueberries, its effects are even more powerful.
So here are 4 ultra-refreshing recipes made with our YEDOENSIS Premium Matcha, perfect to survive scorching hot days!
1. Matcha Mikan Fizz: (our favorite :D)
