If you’re like me and do not drink coffee then you would know how left out you feel when everyone is drinking their frothy cappuccinos and getting that much needed boost for the day. Red Cappuccino is nice but sometimes you need that extra kick! This green cappuccino is loaded with antioxidants and the jasmine lends a very nice taste to it. NB: To add a green colour to it: Use matcha powder instead of the green tea teabag.
