Green Tea Latte

Made this with chia seed and matcha powder.  Matcha powder, ground green tea, is suppose to have three times the antioxidants than grean tea alone and more antioxidants than blueberries and pomegranates per weight.  (Source: Wikipedia)


1 T chia seed
1 T flax seed, finely ground
1 T matcha powder
1 C water, warm if possible
Honey to taste

Place ingredients in blender.  Let soak for 5-10 minutes.  If using a Vitamix, blend on "Hot Soup" mode....otherwise, your are on your own (J/K).  Blend on high for a few minutes (3-5).  Enjoy!
