To make an 8 oz cup:
½ t scoop Earl Grey Matcha
7 ½ oz Oat Milk
Ice
Hot water- enough to dissolve the tea

I got 1oz of tea and I should be able to make about 10-12, 8oz cups of matcha.

Place the scoop of tea with some hot water. Froth and dissolve. Pour oat milk in the cup and froth.

Add ice to the cup.

Drink and enjoy!

I enjoyed trying this. I love new tea things. This tea was very strong for me. I need to do some playing with the measurements and milk ratio's. The flavor of Earl Grey was there though.

who am I

I have told you about Kerrie's Cup of Tea...but who is Kerrie?

*First and most importantly I am a child of God, that makes me a daughter of the Risen King. God is first and foremost in my life.

*Next I am a daughter, sister, and aunt. I have two amazing parents, two wonderful sisters, two great brother-in-laws, one terrific niece and three incredible nephews.

*I am a friend

*I'm an ESL teacher to some amazing students.

*And to support myself and my cats, Orange Pekoe and Chai, I've worked for a local insurance company for over 22 years. My dream job is to own a tea shop and use it as a ministry. I recently started home tea parties- I bring the tea to you.

*I have recently lost 61 pounds. It's a constant battle, but one I will win.

*In my free time I drink tea, make jewelry, write (I have five Christian romance books published and 4 Tea books on Amazon). I also love do paint by numbers, play card/board games, watch NASCAR, cheer for the Buckeyes, Browns and Packers, watch the Food Network and HGTV, take photos, go on mission trips (Over seas I've been to Africa twice, Spain three times, France, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Dominican Republic twice). (In the states I have been to Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Rhode Island, and Cleveland) And a great vacation to Erbil Iraq.

*I also love geocaching with my nephews, working around my over 100 year old house, going on adventures, entertaining, and hanging with family & friends.... and basically embracing my singleness- it's a gift right now.

*God has blessed me with an amazing life- I want to give Him all the glory!!!!
