I just recently bought a sample package of the Vital Proteins Collagen Matcha powder, because I had received this beautiful matcha gift set and had to give it a try. I researched matcha tea to see the benefits and the best way to make it.

Beautiful set! The bowl is big and comforting (I share a photo of me holding it to give an idea of the size) I enjoyed using this set to create my comfort drink. I use Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen powder. First, I use the whisk to measure 1 1/2 teaspoons of matcha powder and whisk that into the beautiful, heavy bowl. I heat a tablespoon or so of water (not boiling); and add that to the matcha bowl with the powder. Use the Bamboo whisk to blend this into a smooth liquid with no clumps. Rinse the bamboo whisk and set it on the drying whisk holder to keep the shape and help it dry properly. I then have my electric frother nearby heating up either my almond milk or my oat milk (about 2/3 cups) While the milk is heating, I add a tsp or so of honey to my matcha mixture in the matcha bowl. I pour the frothed milk into the matcha bowl and using the sifter, I blend all of this until frothy. Sprinkle with nutmeg and enjoy.

A couple of tips: the spoon stand is hiding under the foam; I share a photo with an arrow pointing at the hidden spot.

This is an adorable set that is well-made. I am pleased with this set. I share a photo of the size of the bowl next to my face. This is very comforting and I feel pampered with this.

Peppermint Dark Chocolate latte

My Tassimo coffee maker, is my favorite coffee machine. I have a variety of coffee machines, but this is the one I use every day – Period. I also bought the make your own pods, which I experiment with now and then. I just wish I could figure out how to make a latte and/or cappuccino with the empty pods.

This is my favorite Flat White mixture. The Tassimo Flat White is harder to find, so, I only treat myself to it on the weekend.

In the photos, you’ll see the sweetener I prefer. But this coffee is delicious without a sweetener. I just like the holiday flavors throughout the year.

I like to add a drop of dark chocolate liquid sweetener to the cup, before I start with the milk pod; I then add the Peppermint liquid sweetener to the top of the milk foam, before starting the espresso pod. Tassimo Flat white is a favorite over the years.

I wish Tassimo coffee was available in the U.S.

I buy it online only when I can find free shipping, as it is already a bit expensive. My second favorite latte, is the Jacob Caramel Macchiato. Tassimo also offers a variety of dark and medium roasts, which I enjoy throughout the year.

I have had my Tassimo machine for a few years, if it ever stops working, I will buy another.
