I remember, a while ago, I was completely stressed. My work was piling up, and sleep felt like a distant dream. One of my friends, a herbalist, suggested something new: a matcha and sage blend. I was dubious at first, but honestly? It was a revelation. That first sip felt like a warm hug, and it calmed my nerves in a way I hadn't expected. And now I want to share it with you!
This Matcha Sage Serenity recipe is not just about combining ingredients; it's about crafting a moment of peace. Sage, known for its cleansing properties, blends harmoniously with the vibrant matcha. If you ask me, It's like bringing the spa to your home.
Whether you're seeking a gentle morning boost or a relaxing evening ritual, this tea fits the bill. It's simple, satisfying, and surprisingly versatile. Add a touch of honey if you like things a little sweeter or a splash of almond milk for extra creaminess. I like to add both!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
Gather your ingredients: You'll need matcha powder, fresh sage leaves, hot water (not boiling, around 175°F or 80°C is ideal), and a sweetener of your choice (honey, agave, or stevia work well).
Prepare the sage infusion: Gently crush 5-6 fresh sage leaves between your fingers to release their aroma. Place them in a teapot or heat-resistant mug.
Infuse the sage: Pour 8 ounces (1 cup) of hot water over the sage leaves. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the sage flavor will be. I usually go for 4 minutes—its the sweet spot.
Sift the matcha: While the sage is steeping, sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a small bowl. This helps prevent clumps and ensures a smooth tea.
Whisk the matcha: Add a splash (about 2 tablespoons) of the hot sage infusion to the matcha powder. Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a regular whisk to create a smooth paste. Make sure there are no lumps!
Combine the mixture: Pour the matcha paste into the mug with the remaining sage infusion. Stir well to combine.
Sweeten to taste: Add your choice of sweetener to the tea. Start with a small amount (1/2 teaspoon of honey, for example) and adjust to your preference.
Optional additions: For an extra creamy tea, add a splash of warm almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or ginger for a warm, spicy flavor.
Enjoy your Serenity: Take a moment to savor the aroma before taking your first sip. Relax and let the calming flavors of matcha and sage soothe your senses.
