Matcha, or powdered green tea, is one of the most powerful antioxidant superfoods you can consume. Matcha is a concentrated source of a specific group of polyphenols called catechins. You may have heard of EGCG, or epigallocatechin gallate. EGCG is a catechin found in concentrated amounts in matcha—much higher than regular green tea! EGCG has been widely studied for years for its beneficial effects on weight loss, inflammation reduction, cardiovascular health, cancer prevention, and gut microbe balancing.

The act itself is a kind of ritual—a slowing down, a returning. In Ayurveda and traditional herbalism, bitter herbs like dandelion root are revered for their power to awaken digestion. Dandelion stimulates the secretion of bile, helps the liver do its vital detoxifying work, and supports the early phases of digestion—signaling the body that nourishment is on its way.

This is another guest post by my 10-year old daughter, Lily (I helped her format the recipe). For those of you who have been reading this blog for a while you might remember the first guest post she did on Homemade Seaweed Snacks.
