Merry Matcha Christmas shortbread

Green tea and matcha (the powdered form of green tea/whole leaf) is one of my favourite ingredients. It’s packed with compounds and antioxidants that are all linked with things such as lower inflammation, steady energy, better heart & brain health and longevity. I love to sneak it in wherever I can, so I added some matcha to these Christmas shortbreads which is also a great way to add a natural green colour.
For guidance on choosing good green tea and matcha see my post here.

If you want to learn even more about the benefits of green tea I’d recommend looking up the work by Dr William Li, he lays out the information in such a way that it’s easy to consume and understand.
