Saffron Matcha Latte - The Perfect Indulgent Moodbooster

Sunday, 8 June 2025



This delicious indulgent saffron matcha is a must-add to your beverage roster. The sweet floral and earthy taste pairs beautifully with the creamy matcha.


This luxurious saffron matcha latte really elevates the everyday. Saffron has anti-depressive properties which make it the perfect pick-me-up. It's also anti-inflammatory and is also thought to support cognitive function and has a whole host of other benefits. I used sugar-free cashew milk for a more creamy result but you can use any milk you like.


You Need:

  • 300ml milk
  • Matcha shot prepared to your liking using your fave matcha powder
  • Generous pinch of saffron (soaked in a little hot water)


Take the pinch of saffron and allow it to soak in a little hot water at least  15-30 minutes or overnight to help the flavour and aroma develop. I used a Spanish saffron but use whatever you can source or prefer.


Heat the saffron mix and your milk of choice together while you prepare your matcha shot. Combine in your favourite mug and enjoy the luxurious and uplifting taste of this saffron-matcha infusion.

You can also try this iced!


My Five Step Routine For That Perfect Summer Glow

If your skin has been neglected all winter long, here's my recipe for gorgeous glowing skin.. 


For a long time, I wasn't giving my skin the attention it needed, but since I added these steps to my routine, I've been raving about the results to anyone who will listen. Summer is the perfect time to invest just a little extra time into your body care routine. Whether you're heading on holiday soon, or want to do a pre-summer reset these steps will help you look and feel amazing in your skin. 

1. Dry Brush 

Dry brushing regularly has transformed my skin, it's energizing, reduces cellulite, helps with lymphatic drainage and lifts dead skin so your products or tan apply beautifully. I like to do this for a 5-10 mins before showing. If you work it into your routine 3-4 times a week it will transform you.


2. Find The Right Shower Gel

I love to use bar soap from time to time, but it can be very drying and using a creamy and nourishing bodywash or shower oil helps pamper your skin and uplift your mood. I love uplifting or soothing scents like rose, grapefruit or bergamot. If you have any skin concerns like acne or uneven skin tone, choose products that help you tackle those, I have dry skin so I love something nourishing. 


3. Body Oil

Post-shower you want to immediately apply your body oil on damp skin. This is a great point if you have time to do a little body gua sha to help you debloat. 


4. Lock in With Lotion

Seal in your body oil using a body lotion to help lock in all that hydration. Following these four steps transformed my skin, leaving it super soft and feeling beautiful.


5. Body Glow

To take things to the next level, you can use a self-tan, or glow enhancing body lotion and then layer your favourite body shimmer over the top.
