1. Start Your Day with a Lucky Green Tea Latte
Kick off your St. Paddy’s Day morning with a matcha or green tea latte. Add a drizzle of honey or vanilla, and for a fun twist, top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or matcha powder in the shape of a four-leaf clover.
2. Make a Festive Green Tea Mocktail
Swap out the usual sugary drinks for a refreshing, antioxidant-packed green tea mocktail! Try this easy recipe:
- Brew a cup of Sencha or Jasmine Green Tea and let it chill.
- Add a splash of lime juice, honey, and fresh mint.
- Top with sparkling water for a crisp, bubbly twist.
- Garnish with a lime wedge or fresh basil for extra flair.
3. Cook with Green Tea
Incorporate green tea into your St. Patrick’s Day menu by using it to:
- Infuse rice or grains with a subtle, earthy flavor (just brew a strong green tea and use it as the cooking liquid).
- Make a green tea dressing by whisking brewed green tea with olive oil, lemon juice, and a bit of honey for a light, herbal salad dressing.
- Blend green tea powder (matcha) into pancake or waffle batter for a fun green breakfast!
4. Treat Yourself to a Green Tea & Chocolate Pairing
Green tea + chocolate = a match made in heaven! Pair a cup of Jasmine, Sencha, or our Pear & Ginger Green Tea with dark chocolate truffles or mint chocolate squares for a luxurious yet festive treat.
