Watermelon Matcha

It’s summertime and we want to make sure you stay hydrated! Unlike coffee, matcha tea does not dehydrate you but helps you to maintain a health fluid balance. In this recipe we combine matcha with one of the most hydrating fruits - watermelon!  One cup of watermelon contains more than half a cup of water plus fibre and other nutrients like vitamin C, A and magnesium. The combo makes this the best drink on a hot summer day - hydration and glow guaranteed!
