I'll admit it, I'm a textbook matcha girl. To me, a true matcha girl relishes in every opportunity to drink a frothy matcha latte during the day, endlessly blabs about the benefits of the green tea powder, and snaps aesthetically pleasing pics of her drink, no matter where she is — and that includes when making these sweet, creamy, and earthy lattes at home.

Matcha isn't necessarily superior to coffee, but it does have a complex flavor and it's less likely to leave you with a case of the caffeine jitters. If you're curious about this green drink, the best place to start is with a matcha latte. I love to drink mine iced with almond milk, but there are a variety of ways to prepare it for yourself. Read on to see how to make a matcha latte for yourself, and get the real tea on the tea!

What is matcha?

Matcha is a fine powder made from ground, dried green tea leaves. It’s typically mixed into hot or iced drinks with water or milk. The powder itself is rich in antioxidants and has a wide range of health benefits — it can improve your skin, improve your cardiovascular health, and can even fight cancer.

What does matcha taste like?

Matcha has a pretty earthy flavor, with notes of bitterness and nuttiness. A lot of people also compare the taste of matcha to umami. It’s not exactly identical to most green teas you may have tried before, but is still delicious.

Does matcha have caffeine?

Yes, matcha is caffeinated. The amount of caffeine can vary depending on the type of leaves it comes from, but generally, one gram of matcha powder has about 19-44 mg of caffeine. This makes it higher in caffeine content than coffee, which has around 10-12 mg of caffeine per gram.

How can matcha be consumed?

You can add matcha to cold or hot milk to make a matcha latte, mix it into chia pudding, use the powder in an overnight oats recipe, or sprinkle some into your smoothies for an added boost.

Ingredients:

1-2 tsp culinary matcha powder
¼ cup hot water
½ cup hot milk of choice
Desired amount of sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia)

Steps:

Add your sweetener of choice to a matcha bowl or mug.
Sift the matcha powder into the matcha bowl or mug.
Heat your water and add to the sifted powder and sweetener, then whisk all three together until smooth and frothy.
Heat up your milk of choice using a steam wand, or pop it in the microwave for a few minutes until hot. After heating, you can froth the milk using an electric whisk to add some foam to your sip.
Combine the matcha mix and hot milk, and enjoy!

Notes on making a Matcha Latte

Try playing with the ratio between water and matcha when you make this recipe. The flavor can vary depending on how much water you add, so playing around with it can help you find the best end result!
For an iced matcha latte, follow steps 1-3, then just add the mixture to cold milk and ice.

Is there a difference between ceremonial matcha and culinary matcha?

Photo by Kokonat Kokonat/ PEXELS

Matcha is divided into two grades: ceremonial and culinary. The difference is a reflection of how each grade is meant to be used. Ceremonial grade matcha is meant to be enjoyed on its own, while culinary grade matcha can be used with other ingredients.

How to make traditional matcha?

Traditional ceremonial grade matcha is made using a bamboo whisk, scoop, sifter, and matcha bowl. First, scoop around 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder, then sift into the bowl. Add about ½ - ¾ cups of hot water, and whisk in a circular motion until the matcha becomes smooth and frothy.

It’s important to recognize the rich history and Chinese origins of ceremonial matcha preparation, and aim to prepare it in accordance with the traditional rituals it originated from.

'Babygirl' Is Finally Streaming Next Month, So You Can Watch It Alone Like Nicole Kidman Suggested

Nicole Kidman is, as the kids say, mothering. She's giving fans plenty of movies and TV shows to pick from while we wait for the next seasons of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers — A Family Affair, Expats, The Perfect Couple (and the AMC intro, of course). Her steamy drama Babygirl, which hit theaters on Christmas Day 2024, is mixing work and pleasure. Pour yourself a glass of wine for this one, folks.

Scroll down to learn more about Nicole Kidman's Babygirl — including when you can stream it on Max.

Where can you stream Babygirl?

A24

Babygirl will be streaming on Max starting April 25, 2025. That means you can watch THAT milk scene as many times as you want.

What is the plot of Babygirl?

A24

Babygirl Plot

In Babygirl, Nicole Kidman plays powerful CEO Romy, who's struggling to hold her perfect persona together. Her marriage to Jacob has never provided with much pleasure, despite the fact he's caring and artistic. But when Romy immediately feels drawn to a young intern named Samuel, the two begin a torrid affair.

Filming scenes with Harris Dickinson got so intense, Kidman said she literally had to take breaks. “There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more,'” she told the Sun. “Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!”

But the fact the movie was made by women empowered Kidman — and gave her a sense of freedom. "Doing this subject matter in the hands of the woman that wrote the script, that's directing it and is a really great actress herself — we became one in a weird way, which I'd never had with a director before," Kidman says in a statement. "When you're working with a woman on this subject matter, you can share everything with each other.”

"I really decided in the beginning, I want to make a sexual film, just as sexual as all these films that I've always admired so much," adds writer-director-producer Halina Reijn, "but now I'm going to do it completely through female eyes. What does that mean and what does that look like?”

A24

In our Brit + Co exclusive, Nicole Kidman revealed she "spent a lot of time in bed" with Harris while filming. (TBH, a job that requires you to hang out in bed sounds like a pretty good job to me).

"As soon as he walked in, I was like, 'Oh good, here's somebody who's gonna play with me," she says. "We spent a lot of time in bed. Hours would go by, and it was like you would step out of there and you would say, 'What just happened?'"

"From the moment [Samuel] sees her, he's attracted to her. He realizes there's someone at the height of their power," Harris adds. "There was an element of mystique that needed to be there for the exploration of the relationship."

When is the Babygirl release date?

A24

Babygirl Release Date

Babygirl made its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and then opened in theaters on December 25, 2024.

Who's in the Babygirl cast?

A24

Babygirl Cast

The cast of Babygirl includes Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, Sophie Wilde, and Antonio Banderas.

What has Nicole Kidman said about making Babygirl?

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole Kidman revealed Babygirl is the most "exposing" film she's done because she's “made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this.”

“It left me ragged," she says. "At some point I was like, I don’t want to be touched. I don’t want to do this anymore, but at the same time I was compelled to do it...This is something you do and hide in your home videos. It is not a thing that normally is going to be seen by the world.”

“I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being,” she continues. “I had to go in and go out like, I need to put my protection back on. What have I just done? Where did I go? What did I do?”

What does babygirl energy mean?

A24

"Babygirl" is a term of endearment that's usually applied to a man (you've probably heard it describe Pedro Pascal or Paul Mescal). When someone is giving babygirl energy, they're kind, cute, and disarming. And considering Babygirl plays with power dynamics, we might just find ourselves guessing who the "babygirl" in question is up until the very end.

Watch The 'Babygirl' Trailer Here!

A24

There were SO many moments in the Babygirl trailer that made our jaws drop here:

The thumb in the mouth
The pink skirt moment
NICOLE CRAWLING ON ALL FOURS?!

Yeah, this is one you won't wanna watch with your parents, friends. 🥵 And even Nicole agrees! At the December 2 Gotham Awards, when People asked who moviegoers should bring to the theater with them, "Whoever you want to, but you can also watch it alone." Tea.

Are you looking forward to seeing Nicole Kidman onscreen again? We might have to wait until December to see Babygirl, but there are plenty of incredible Fall Movies coming our way.

Monica Barbaro & Andrew Garfield's Latest Outing Could Confirm They're Dating

Andrew Garfield's relationship status is always a swoon-worthy topic. Whether he's gushing about how Emma Stone is like a shot of caffeine, he's getting flustered talking to Chicken Shop Date's Amelia Dimoldenberg, or he's kissing Demi Moore on the hand, this man is always making me blush. But it looks like he might not be single anymore if some recent outings with Monica Barbaro are any indication — including a post-Oscars party!

While neither Andrew nor Monica have spoken on the relationship rumors, a People source confirmed "they've been really lowkey and have been spending time together quietly"...and Monica shared a pretty funny moment with Amelia on the Oscars red carpet.

Here's what we know about those Andrew Garfield & Monica Barbaro relationship rumors.

This duo definitely fanned the flames of those couple rumors when they were spotted grocery shopping in Malibu. A very realistic, domestic, and relatable Sunday! I also went grocery shopping this day, so it looks like we were on the same page ;).

Andrew wore a white tee and jeans while Monica looks cozy in a white tank and green cardigan. Both wore baseball caps. "I like that they are humble and buy the same TP as me," one Instagram user commented. Same.

20 Blue Zone Diet Recipes That Give Your Meals A Healthy Kick

The blue zone diet is undeniably one of the best ways of eating for overall health and longevity. It draws culinary inspiration from the top blue zones around the world (Ikaria, Greece, Okinawa, Japan, Sardinia, Italy, Loma Linda, California, and the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica), where people tend to live longer (over 100 years!), often free of any heart disease, obesity, cancer, or diabetes.

Originally outlined by National Geographic Explorer and Fellow Dan Buettner, the blue zone diet is 95% plant-based, with beans, legumes, sweet potatoes, yams, fruits, leafy greens, beets, nuts, and seeds being the #1 priority. High-quality olive oiland whole grains like brown rice and barley are also a huge part of the diet. Blue zone diet recipes widely limit eggs, dairy, meat, added sugar, and processed foods.
