    Fun fact about matcha: it also contains L-Theanine which essentially counteracts a lot of the jittery effects of caffeine, so it’s great for those who are sensitive to caffeine!

    • @pennygardner9739
      @pennygardner9739 Před 2 lety +13

      I can contest to that...no more jitters. I cut out coffee a few weeks ago and now enjoy my 2 cups a day of matcha. I add a couple pinches of stevia, a few drops of vanilla extract, and drink it over ice. Totally decreases the bitterness.

      This is also in green tea generally, no need to make it matcha specifically.

      @S4cr3dG30m3try Před rokem +3

      Yerba maté is a good, cheaper alternative than matcha which tends to be super expensive.
      It's higher in antioxidants than green tea, and higher in caffeine (matein) than both green tea and matcha, but due it's composition it doesn't give you the jitters like coffee may do.
      Also maté can be re-steeped and reused *a lot* of times, unlike green tea or matcha. It's overall the more accessible and budget friendly option, best replacement for coffee, and way healthier than green tea.

      If you’re interested in that, you might want to check out the book “Lateral Cooking”. The author gives blueprints for many foods (e.g. what ratios are roughly needed, where can and can’t you change things around) plus showing examples of how to vary and adapt and how you go from one type of recipe to the next. I found it really helpful for learning to improvise

    • @missmarsz1771
      @missmarsz1771 Před 3 lety +4

      With time and practice! I cook soups all the time and I learn something knew almost every other soup (I wing it) I used to follow recipes to the T but it kept me out of the kitchen because I wouldn’t like it so I must be a terrible cook but when I’m winging it if I don’t like it I have motivation to get back into the kitchen to ‘perfect’ my craft! It’s very relaxing and extremely replenishing when you can share it with friends and family and see the gaze of aws from a great home cooked meal!!!
