Some like it it hot, some like it cold.  I like it how ever I can get it.  This time, I had it iced.

I’m talking about green tea here.

With summer underway, I’m hunting for beverages that will be nice for cooling off during the long, hot days under the Southern California sun.

I wandered into Peet’s Coffee & Tea in Downtown Manhattan Beach to see what I could find.

Checking out their iced drinks I decided on the Green Tea Matcha Latte.  Green tea makes everything good, especially hot summer days.

There was plenty of green tea flavor present along with a subtle sweetness.  Sugarphiles could ask for extra sweetner I suppose but what ever was in it – along with the whipped cream on top – was plenty for me.

I’ll add this one to my list of cool, cool beverages to choose from during the next few months!
