Cinnamon Matcha Latte by Avocado Skillet

As people who don't drink too much caffeine, matcha has been a lifesaver to give us energy without the jitters. We know its flavor is polarizing, so if you feel like your matcha is missing an extra kick, Avocado Skillet has the solution: add cinnamon and maple syrup. Your matcha latte will become sweet and spicy.
