Easy Black Sesame Matcha Latte

Let's make a TCM-friendly black sesame matcha latte! In Traditional Chinese Medicine, black sesame powder nourishes the liver and kidneys, especially the blood and the yin, which is the fluid. It's amazing for hair growth, amazing for women's health, and something that you can incorporate into your daily matcha latte! Not only that, matcha is an incredible anti-inflammatory tea, packed with polyphenols that can defend the skin from stressors. Enjoyed hot (versus iced), it's even better for your qi, and a sprinkle of black sesame adds a sultry depth, nourishing your liver and kidneys while enriching your blood for that radiant glow!
