The one below is a neighborhood just outside of a processing plant that we visited.
I will continue my blogs about my trip, but I didn't want to show any disrespect to those who have been affected by this disaster. I have been in touch with my friends in Japan and I am waiting to hear back about their well being. My prayers and thoughts go out to the people of Japan during this horrible crisis. My personal financial support is going to Samaritan's Purse Relief Efforts. They are already on the ground in Japan with supply blankets, hygiene supplies, and water purification systems to those in need. There are also other organizations that are helping as well.
I thought it might be honoring to those in Japan on St. Patrick's Day, to make "your green drink of the day" an Iced Matcha Latte. While making it and drinking it, we can stop and pray for those in need and if you can support the relief effort financially, that would be wonderful as well!
Iced Matcha Latte
2 teaspoons Matcha powder
6 oz milk (cow, soy, or rice)
Favorite sweetener such as stevia, honey, etc.
Ice
Put Matcha into a martini shaker
(if you don't have one, try a large jar with tight fitting lid)
Dissolve matcha by adding 1 Tablespoon hot water or milk
and stir until matcha becomes a smooth paste
Fill shaker with 1 cup ice
Add milk
Sweeten to taste and stir
Shake well to blend green tea with milk
Strain your chilled green tea latte over a tall glass with fresh ice
Happy Sipping, Supporting, and Praying for those in Japan, Lisa
