Substitutions for the coconut butter or coconut cream are:

1 cup Sweet Whipped Cashew Crème
1/2 cup fresh coconut meat
1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 2 – 8 hours then drained and rinsed
1/4 cup mashed avocado

Ingredients:

• 2 – 3 pure green tea bags or 2 – 3 tsp bulk pure green tea
• 2 – 3 tsp matcha green tea powder
• 1 cup coconut water or water
• 1 cup warm water
• 1/2 cup coconut butter or coconut cream
• 1/4 – 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves or few drops mint essential oil or peppermint extract
• 1 tsp vanilla or vanilla-flavored stevia to taste (optional)
• 2 – 3 Tbsp sucanat or raw sugar or other light sweetener to taste
• few ice cubes for each serving glass

Directions

1. Add half the warm water to a bowl and whisk in the matcha powder. Set aside.
2. Steep the tea bags in the other other half cup of warm water for at least 15 minutes (depending on how strong you want it).
3. Remove the green tea bags or bulk tea and add tea to a blender. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the tea bags into the blender.
4. Add the match tea and remaining ingredients except ice cubes to the blender.

6. Add ice cubes to glasses and pour latte into each glass.
