Matcha Magic Tonic: Just 4 Ingredients!

November 10, 2014 by Denise 13 Comments

This matcha magic tonic is not only extremely healthy but also delicious. Just 4 ingredients to add a healthy start to your day. Using local honey this match drink is great for allergies too!

Matcha Magic 

My friend Debbie got me hooked on matcha. She sells these wonderful teas from Steep (click here to learn about Debbie’s Steep Teas) that I drink all the time. Recently Debbie had a matcha challenge where you drank a cup everyday and reported how you felt. I’m not gonna lie. At first I didn’t like it, even though I knew it was really good for you. However now that we are almost a month into it, I’ve grown to love and even crave my matcha every morning and sometimes in the afternoon too!

This matcha magic tonic is a healthy drink I like to start my day with especially during allergy season! Not only are you using this healthy green tea, but also apple cider vinegar, turmeric and local honey. 

What Is Matcha?

Matcha is a variety of green tea in which you consume the whole, powdered leaf. It’s not infused with a teabag or infuser like other teas. It’s the whole tea leaf ground into a powder. See pic below.

  • It’s a great source of antioxidants and phytochemicals (which have been shown to improve cholesterol ratios, metabolism and lower cancer risk).
  • It contains EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) which is a potent antioxidant and the major reason for matcha’s health benefits.
  • Matcha has much less caffeine than coffee and tea (½ teaspoon matcha = 35mg/8oz, brewed coffee = 162mg/8oz, black tea = 42mg/8oz ).

This matcha magic tonic is not only extremely healthy but also delicious. Just 4 ingredients to add a healthy start to your day. Using local honey this match drink is great for allergies too!

Matcha Magic Tonic Recipe

My friend Debbie and I both felt that it gave us a boost of energy without that jumpy feeling you get with coffee and it’s really good for your health! So my formula for this great morning tonic that I call Matcha Magic is this:

Matcha + Apple Cider Vinegar +Turmeric + Honey = Matcha Magic.

It’s easy to remember the ingredients: MATH (Matcha, Apple Cider Vinegar, Turmeric, Honey). 

Matcha Magic

  • Matcha gives me the boost I need in the morning but not too much of one.
  • Apple cider vinegar has been known for it’s immune boosting properties and promotes alkalinity and pH balance of the body. I also read where it’s acidity helps with gallbladder pain which I have been having.  
  • Turmeric contains curcumin  which is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agent.
  • Honey has antiseptic properties and is helpful for allergies that I have problems with year round.

The thing about this drink is … it really healthy and all….but it tastes really good! The honey balances the vinegar for a sweet and sour taste and the matcha and turmeric give you that green and earthy flavor. It’s really quite good! So that is what I am drinking every morning. I hope you try it and enjoy it too!

 Two more healthy drinks you might like are my golden milk (turmeric tonic) and allergy super booster.

    I wonder if this would work by adding strongly steeped Steeped Teas turmeric and spice tea instead of just turmeric

      I think that is a great idea! My friend Debbie sells Steeped tea and I have a lot of it but I never tried that one. I’ll ask her about it.

      I would Definitely try it! The turmeric flavor may not be as strong as putting straight turmeric in though. But I think That’s a great idea!

    I love having my matcha with ice and soda water (very refreshing) I have recently become aware of Apple Cider Vinegar as a great thing to add to your day. I am going to try this with my ice and soda water!

      Hi Emily, I have never tried matcha with soda water but I will try now! I have become a big fan of Apple Cider Vinegar over the past year. I’m really liking the taste and I feel like it’s good for me. Thanks for stopping by!

    Do you think I could mix up a batch of this to keep in the fridge and just shake and add to hot water. Might save a few minutes in the AM when I’m trying to run out the door. Thanks.

          Hi Supriya, yes I think that would be delicious! The black pepper will be good for absorbing the turmeric and ginger and lemon are very healthy too. Enjoy!
