hi friends, wanted to pop in (months later lol apologies) to share there's a difference between the "apricot kernel" mentioned in this video and the poisonous apricot kernel you find via a quick google search. I'm fully aware that KitchenHeroes is not the most credible source, but just wanted to give some context to possible mistranslation and misunderstanding about the two variations of northern and southern apricot kernels: www.kitchenheroes.com.sg/single-post/2018/03/04/The-Difference-between-North-%E5%8D%97%E6%9D%8F-and-South-almonds-%E5%8C%97%E6%9D%8F-Apricot-Kernels also worth mentioning that as with everything we see online, I feel it’s important we do our own research and consult our doctor(s) to ensure what we’re watching / hearing is aligned with what we is best for ourselves, our body, and our health as we all function and operate beautifully uniquely, person to person 🙏🏻
Hi Rowena, I like your posts but am having trouble finding ingredients. It looks like your comment here is from 3 months ago, but the link about apricot kernels already does not work. Can you just add to these comments what you wanted us to know about apricot kernels so we don't buy the wrong/ dangerous kind? It sounds like very important info! Thank you :) Also, your black sugar link goes to a package of candy. Surely not the same as plain sugar? And Thrive does not have apricot kernel or black sugar. Amazon has them at millionaire's prices, not affordable for regular people. Can you link to safe and affordable sources, please? 🤗💗
Wanted to say a HUGE 🙏🏼 thank you for this video! It’s change my life. I’ve never been able to stomach caffeine. I’d drink English Breakfast on the weekends and would crash hard, coffee was out of the question. The Matcha Latte is my everyday go to for a long lasting much needed energy boost(tired mommy). Btw, I’ve watched the video so many times my 2 yo 👧🏻 repeats “chasen” when she helps me make it. I die. I found the same apricot kernel powder you used after sending poor hubs to 4 different Asian markets during quarantine. It actually shrunk a tumor protruding from my forehead that an MRI showed as benign. While grateful for that. Still as a woman, I was self conscious. Surgery seemed too extreme to remove it. It does upset my stomach so I only use it sparingly. It gave me my face back and I truly enjoy the whole process of making it. It’s feels like something small I can do for myself everyday that’s so enjoyable. Truly this video has changed my life. Thank you my dear from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. ♥️
I don't know if other people would be interested, but if you're in the mood, some Chinese healthy/comfort food recipes ? Something like the soup your mother made in the "Nourish" episode, things we could try to make ourselves feel better ? I really miss the comfort food I used to get in the Chinese part of my family. Anyway, thank you for the video :)
Something about this is just relaxing to me. Seeing the lattes being made up and mixed and Rowena calmly listing all the good things about them like the smart, informative noodle she is 🥰🍵
I'm South African and I think the way you say Rooibos is SO cute! I love it. You pronounce it slightly differently than we do, but your way is just so interesting and it made me smile! Thanks for the recipes!
My dearest Rowena, You truly encourage me to thrive and to flourish into the best version of myself whilst simultaneously taking the time to take a step back, as to not get swept up in the flurry of life as our little prince once learned from the signalman, "people are never happy where they are". Where i am it's Friday night and i've had quite the week; i came home hoping to find a new upload from you and to my fortune you had uploaded just the video i'd been looking forward to for the longest time. I'm not the type to comment and i know you may not get to read this, however i want to thank you for all the ways you bring waves of calm to my soul, and introduce methods to maintain that calm in life's calamity since i first discovered your channel from what feels like eons ago. Your bubbly air and infectious smile had me captivated. Your outlook on life, resilient spirit, soft heart and sweet soul, brought more wisdom and joy into my life than i ever could've anticipated from that very first moment i clicked. I struck gold. Thank you. - also i have a book recc: The poetry of Zen (trans. by Sam Hamill & J.P Seaton) // it's one of my favourite poetry books, please do feel free to check it out! As much as i love your videos i love you more and so please do take care of yourself - in every sense of the word. We'll always understand if you need a break (even one that lasts forever). You come first. Always. I am soso proud of you! I wish you and your family all the best xx
😭🙏🏻💕 I'm at a loss for words. thank you so much for taking the time to write and comment even though you rarely do (I'm the exact same way so this means that much more to me). I'll definitely check out The Poetry of Zen. I hope you have an amazing weekend my love!
Chai and ginger lattes... done :) I created my own too, I did a rose latte with, white tea, pink roses infusion, and soy milk. I drink everything unsweetened cause I don't actually like sweet things.
rowena, i just wanted to thank you. every time i’m in a depressive slump where i don’t want to do anything, it’s always _your_ videos that bring me out of it. i’m not sure whether it’s your calm voice, clean editing, or crisp visuals, but something about these videos reminds me that i can be better. that putting in a little effort goes a long way. thank you for that.
I found your channel by accident and became a subscriber. I thought you had valuable information and insight with great tips. I think a lot of the comments on here rely too heavily on people of youtube and Instagram to tell them what to do. I felt you made it clear you were not a nutritionist but really enjoyed nutrition and understanding the properties etc. I think its important for each person to research and figure out if something is harmful to them and not rely on you in a video or in the comment section to defend yourself. I know you posted this a while ago, but I am definitely looking forward to more of these types of videos. I know the content took and effort to put together and I appreciated it.
I love this video and your channel so much, but just one thing I wanted to point out: apricot kernels/seeds as well as many other fruit pits/seeds contain amygdalin, which is a cyanogenic glycoside, basically meaning it converts to cyanide in your body. There are quantities of amygdalin that are safe to consume, but you should limit consumption considerably because cyanide is very toxic to humans and can cause a myriad of symptoms in high quantities, including coma and death. Apricot seeds are particularly high in amygdalin, so this means the safe dose of the ground apricot kernel shown here is much lower than in other fruit seeds that contain amygdalin. I'm not saying people shouldn't eat it, as long as you monitor your intake and stay below/at the recommended amount you should be fine, but I believe people should know this, as it's not common knowledge. I don't know anything about the specific powder you're using, or whether some of the properties are different from a raw seed, so I can't comment on that. I have absolutely nothing against you or this video, just thought education on this topic was important, as that powder is potentially lethal at high quantities.
@@LiinDuhx3 Be sure to do research on ANY product that's marketed as "healthy". Supplements ARE NOT regulated by the FDA, so they can literally put ANYTHING they want in them, and put ANY claim they want to on their packages. The FDA themselves even said that they (and I'm super paraphrasing here) are essentially just damage control and won't step in until people start getting sick or dying.
I do agree with this, we were giving this ( not powder shown here but liquid form), to my mom with end stage cancer, in hopes of a miracle cure, sadly it didn't work. Best to stay informed and do research from reputable sources especially if you have a serious health condition.
I've never heard anyone else talk about future you before and I'm so thankful you did. I try teaching all of my friends that philosophy but I guess just not with my health more with school. I have every powder you mentioned and I'm so glad I watched this! Thank you for the content
I loved this video! So relaxing and I love the colors 😍 Do you shoot in auto, manual, or do you color correct when you're recording yourself? I've been using my g7x too but the camera shoots incredibly warm 😁
m'aww thanks Maya! 😊 I usually shoot in auto and color correct the intro portions and clips here and there if it's exceptionally off-color. been playing around more with manual cause I hate how the auto white balance will switch from warm to cool and back mid recording lol. for manual, under white balance, I select either custom 1 or 2 and hit 'evaluate white bal.' while pointing my camera at a white wall or something predominately white. this usually does the trick to get it to be less warm!
This is such a great video and aesthetically pleasing!! I also want to say a TREMENDOUS THANK YOU for showing all alternatives for sugars, detailed walkthrough on how to make each latte and what you used and especially for listing everything you used in the video with links in description box, it is extremely helpful!!! Thank you!!
omg yes!! I've always wondered more about your superfood lattes and theyve inspired me to make my own matcha lattes in the morning taking that extra time to make it and drink it is relaxing and helps jets start my day or settle in before bed thanks for sharing this rowena!
ooh ginger tea saves me every month too. I need to try black sugar now!! I usually end up mixing brown sugar into hot water and steeping sliced fresh ginger in it. What I really love to do is make chrysanthemum tea and steep ginger in it but I ran out and haven't been to the market in a while. I've been making plain herbal tea in the morning every day as part of my new morning routine, now I really want to spice it up a little and try some of these out!
omg!!!! i must say whenever you prepared lattes on your vlogs i would look closely to try to make something similar... so this is PERFECT!! thank you rowena, you're my fav youtuber
Hey I've been watching your video from few days And you really helped me ita not like normal help I've felt connected to you honestly And I want your help too could you make a video on drink and breakfast which take less time for preparation & gives a high amount of energy to survive Morning tiring lecture at college without getting hungry for College student. I feel so low and it affects mental health a lot not eating breakfast.
uwu~ i didnt know that there are so many benefits to these drinks 🍵. little things like this i want to try to implement into my life. it also reminds me to take care of myself even more. // i think these types of videos really help you to push your creative limits, which i love. but i also love videos that get me into deep thoughts of reflection. 尽管你制作什么的录像，我还是会看的! ❤🥰 love you 姐姐 ro!
Loved this video. Though, I will say all honey has the qualities you're listing for manuka. Sugar is antibacterial and antimicrobial in nature. We use it in the hospital all the time. Have an old festering wound? Use a sugar wrap or honey wrap. It all has the "anti's".
I love your videos Rowena. I like how they are about self improvement and taking care of your mental and physical health. I have been watching for months and I have benefitted from watching on how to not Burnout, the right perspective, making good habits. I have loved your videos, and super enjoy your personality. You would definitely be a person I would enjoy having a brunch and latte with :-) Keep that beautiful attitude and spunky spirit. You are an awesome human :-)
I come back to this video time and time again not only because I enjoy thinking about cool drinks but also because I really enjoy the way this video is made. The editing is crisp and clean with how the shots are cut together. There’s a calm energy in the narration and soundtrack. I sort of like the text overlays, too. Very nice video~ 🙆
I don't see many people mentioning this, but your science education is really helping us understand the research needed before people consume foods marketed as "healthy". I appreciate you giving us the science to back up why these foods are good for you. Lydia made a good point about the apricot/almond grounds being arsenic in your body, and dangerous in high amounts, however. That's definitely something you should've brought up about the ground apricot. I'm sure it was a mistake though. lol Outside of that, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thanks to your help I made a delicious latte this morning!! Turmeric Rooibos tea, with collagen, a dash of maple syrup and warm soy milk. It tastes like tapioca pudding but it doesn’t have all that sugar!! 😍 thank you!!
I didn't know lattes could be tea-based and now I'm excited because coffee gives me a bad feeling. I'm also overwhelmed with all this nutritional info and feel I need to learn a ton more about nutritious things I could be eating!
@@rowena haha I know that (: Oh so you just use them interchangeably. I was just wondering, I mean I know they do the same thing but for one of the lattes you use the manual tea kettle. Just wondering! (:
could you do recipes for better sleep? my boyfriend is looking to get healthier and sleep easier (he lays awake for hours), and one of your lattes in this video sparked the idea. thanks! loved the video xx
wow you made a really creative twist on the usual lattes I'm quite excited to try some of these ASAP. Also, VERY informative, I didn't know that there were 2 types of cinnamon!! thanks for the video
I found a meta-analysis which uses available studies to get a full image so it's a bit more useful than a single study :) : www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28236605
@@PHOEBUSDANCER I don't think it's that we can't do our own research, but some people want the same article she had read to see if it was credible, or are just interested in reading it. Citing your resources and references is a good practice outside of just writing a paper.
You truly have blessed me with this knowledge I been eating healthier and thanks to you I know ingredients I didn’t know before that can help with my health an just overall a healthier lifestyle 💐
Thank you for existing. You have helped me a lot. You may me feel normal. Honestly I always wondered how you made your drinks. I love tea but some of your drinks just looked yummy in previous videos. Have a beautiful day/night and I'm glad you are feeling a better. You looked and sounded happy in this video.
Honestly, I have been dyyying to get into the superfood drinking habit and this has helped since ive got some left over matcha and tumeric from when I first tried. Rowena already has me hooked on the collagen, the kernel powder, manuka honey, and oat milks are next
I never used black sugar I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF IT 😳 I'm so glad you made this video because I need to try new drinks for the morning I feel so blessed Gives me a reason to do some online shopping 😂😂💕💕
As someone who's replaced all sodas and juice with tea and water, this is so helpful!! As I'm getting older, I'm noticing my body start to change, so I'd like to incorporate more vitamins and minerals in my diet, even though we eat pretty healthy.
Michala Reichenbach im from sweden and i was so suprised by the way she pronounced it. i wasn’t even aware of the fact that people outside scandinavia knew/used that word
i first heard of "hygge" about 2 years ago, here in Germany where I live, but then again, we're practically neighbours ^^ but yeah, it seems to be a thing now everywhere
I have never made a matcha before, but I am into sustainability and health. Came across your channel... instant follow and I am going to try making one with almond milk.
Yay!! Awesome video-- thanks so much for your attention to detail including excellent music, cool shots of the view out your windows and of course a terrific content choice.
Rowena girl... 🤩YES thank you for your amazing videos! I just started watching about a month again and you've helped me organize my life all over again thank you 🥰🙌🏽
You can find a lot of fancier ingredients for a discount at TJ Maxx/Marshalls (Coconut sugar, oils, teas, syrup, cinnamon) and check out Asian Markets or Amazon for the matcha. Plant based milk you can buy at Walmart or make your own. :)
Usually, good quality ingredients will cost more, but they'll also last longer. I never buy any tea from supermarkets, nor the ones in bags anymore, because, in the long run, I'll still pay the same amount of money for a lesser quality tea. I buy my teas and rooibos in a local tea shop, and it has changed my life. It's 10€ for a 100g container, but the tea lasts me for months (I also rotate them, so that helps). Just two teaspoons in my 1.5L teapot and I'm set. And let's not even talk about taste. ALthough I do agree that some of the ingredients she used were a bit too overkill for me. No need to add more than just the tea, a good sweetener, water and milk.
It is but think about this. They boost your immune system, you get less sick. Your skin looks better. So you can buy less beauty products or medecine! And they last a long time. I bought a huge bag of cinnamon (around a kilo) like a year and a half ago for less than ten dollars and I'm not even halfway through. Turmeric too. You can buy oat and make oatmilk for a few cents. Even sweeteners! We buy coconut sugar for almost nothing at Bulk Barn. I get my matcha from Amazon when there are discount. It's expensive at first but it lasts a while (and you can skip coffee if you drink that). I'm a mom of 2 and a college student. I know how expensive life can be but you choose where you invest your money and I don't buy drinks outside of the house and don't drink sodas or juices. In the end I think I break out even ☺
Hello Rowena, this is my first video from your channel. Really enjoyed it. As a daily Matcha drinker it was nice to see the variety of lattes and teas.
When I first tried Rooibos tea, straight up thought i was drinking dirt. But started to like it more. Specially after the museum mansion that i internship at made a v-day drink with the tea. So good!
I hope the people watching these videos know the health risks of the mentioned super foods though...like apricot kernel and spirulina. Maybe you could also add that you are not a nutritionist/dietist and to consume at own risk.
I think it’s so weird that she likes the comments that say something in the lines of “Who else likes this video??” And doesn’t likes the comment about health risks, I think it’s really weird
hey alisa! the “apricot kernel” I mentioned is actually taiwanese almond powder. sometimes words get mixed up when translated. and noted and fully onboard for the disclaimed, I will be sure to include it in future videos where I mention superfoods 🙏🏻 appreciate the constructive feedback!
• m e x x a l i • hi friend, this video was posted a while ago and I haven’t been checking the comments. like i’ve mentioned in a few comments, the “apricot kernel” in this video is actually taiwanese almond powder, not the poisonous powder 🙏🏻
Rowena I love this video!😍 I love that you showed us how to make the lattes, as this can be cheaper than buying the ready made ones. I’m so excited to add this to my self care/healthy treat routine!!!!
I’ve just been to a little hippie music festival over the weekend and saw these lattes everywhere. I already love matcha and chai lattes but I was so fascinated by turmeric and rooibos. I’ll give them a try 🌞
IMPORTANT: coconut oil is not a healthy fat. This is such a common myth, but as I am educated in chemistry, it has a LOT of saturated („bad“) fats and almost no unsaturated („good“) fats. If you really want healthy fats, go for olive oil or flaxseed oil (which is also great for digestion) or walnut oil. PLEASE DON‘T THINK COCONUT OIL IS HEALTHY! IT ISN‘T!
Looks soo delishh!! I just tried matcha latté for the first time this week and i always thought it would taste like pistachio with vanilla kardemom flavour because of its green color. So i am little bit disapointed right now that it tastes like the delish green tea i drink on a daily only with vegan milk.
Been drinking chai latte for three weeks now and this just pops up in my recommendations!! I’m gonna make turmeric latte today. 👀🙏🏽 thanks for this video!
I always love the editing of these straight forward, clean and informative videos. I’m definitely going to try some of these out and I’ve been eyeing a milk foamer ever since your top 7 things to simplify life video.
Kaptajnkringle wouldnt it be nice if after your snarky remark you perhaps bestowed upon us your oh-so-special knowledge in regards to its proper pronunciation
@@7000nina it was not to be snarky, i just find Americans trying to pronounce it hilarious and i dont get why it has become a saying there as it sounds like they are struggling a lot with it :P I apologize if it came across snarky :P But of course i can bestow on you my danish knowledge :) The y is more pronounced as Ü more than U or just like you would say the Y sound in Yggdrasil :) I could have made a way more snarky comment if it was actually something that bothered me xD
It will be great if you can share some of your self-prepared meals as a single person staying alone. Sometimes, it's really difficult for me to eat healthy especially after work. I'll be too tired to cook and I'll just eat anything conveniently available. Love the colours of the lattes!

What I really love to do is make chrysanthemum tea and steep ginger in it but I ran out and haven't been to the market in a while. I've been making plain herbal tea in the morning every day as part of my new morning routine, now I really want to spice it up a little and try some of these out!
Not the foggiest why this was on my recommended watching, but I'm so glad I stumbled upon this channel, love the video 😊
omg!!!! i must say whenever you prepared lattes on your vlogs i would look closely to try to make something similar... so this is PERFECT!! thank you rowena, you're my fav youtuber
who else has a "latte" love for Rowena
was that too cheesy
that was great
but I love cheez 🧀😜💕
Haha that's cute
Ugh i will never unsub your channel..so aesthetic yet productive
Hey I've been watching your video from few days
And you really helped me ita not like normal help
I've felt connected to you honestly
And I want your help too could you make a video on drink and breakfast which take less time for preparation & gives a high amount of energy to survive Morning tiring lecture at college without getting hungry for College student.
I feel so low and it affects mental health a lot not eating breakfast.
my anxiety is now 0. thankuuuuuuuuuuu Rowena. You're my fave you tuber and you help my mental health so much.
uwu~ i didnt know that there are so many benefits to these drinks 🍵. little things like this i want to try to implement into my life. it also reminds me to take care of myself even more. // i think these types of videos really help you to push your creative limits, which i love. but i also love videos that get me into deep thoughts of reflection. 尽管你制作什么的录像，我还是会看的! ❤🥰 love you 姐姐 ro!
*tip* can't find black sugar? look for muscovado. often, its cheaper too since its an even more unrefined version lol
Loved this video. Though, I will say all honey has the qualities you're listing for manuka. Sugar is antibacterial and antimicrobial in nature. We use it in the hospital all the time. Have an old festering wound? Use a sugar wrap or honey wrap. It all has the "anti's".
I love your videos Rowena. I like how they are about self improvement and taking care of your mental and physical health. I have been watching for months and I have benefitted from watching on how to not Burnout, the right perspective, making good habits. I have loved your videos, and super enjoy your personality. You would definitely be a person I would enjoy having a brunch and latte with :-) Keep that beautiful attitude and spunky spirit.
You are an awesome human :-)
You slid into my recommends today and I just loooove you. Subbed! 🍵🖤
I come back to this video time and time again not only because I enjoy thinking about cool drinks but also because I really enjoy the way this video is made. The editing is crisp and clean with how the shots are cut together. There’s a calm energy in the narration and soundtrack. I sort of like the text overlays, too. Very nice video~ 🙆
THE MATCHA LOOKS SOOOOO GOOD AND THEY ALL LOOK SO PRETTY WOAHHHHH
I'm so glad I found this channel! I've had a hard time finding videos on how to make lattes without a bunch of pots and pans
I really appreciated this video, great self-care and I'd love to see more videos like this!
I don't see many people mentioning this, but your science education is really helping us understand the research needed before people consume foods marketed as "healthy". I appreciate you giving us the science to back up why these foods are good for you.
Lydia made a good point about the apricot/almond grounds being arsenic in your body, and dangerous in high amounts, however. That's definitely something you should've brought up about the ground apricot. I'm sure it was a mistake though. lol Outside of that, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thank you for this! Can't wait to try all these latte's, normally I do Matcha, Chai, or Ginger its great to switch it up
Thanks to your help I made a delicious latte this morning!! Turmeric Rooibos tea, with collagen, a dash of maple syrup and warm soy milk. It tastes like tapioca pudding but it doesn’t have all that sugar!! 😍 thank you!!
I was in lecture as youtube notification hit my phone telling that theres a new video of Lattes from Rowena 💜
😂😅 sorry to disrupt your lecture focus!
I didn't know lattes could be tea-based and now I'm excited because coffee gives me a bad feeling.
I'm also overwhelmed with all this nutritional info and feel I need to learn a ton more about nutritious things I could be eating!
South African here🤚🏻 rooibos is pronounced roy-boss
I love her so much nutrition is the mission all up in this vid and the aesthetic omg ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Rowena, what's the difference between your tea kettle and the Hamilton Beach pot thing?
Yoli also wondering the same!
tea kettle shown towards the end? they're basically the same thing (heats water) one just uses fire and the other electricity (faster which I prefer!)
@@rowena haha I know that (: Oh so you just use them interchangeably. I was just wondering, I mean I know they do the same thing but for one of the lattes you use the manual tea kettle. Just wondering! (:
I loved the ideas you shared with this video and I would love to see more things like this along with your usual videos. Thank you!
Rooibos is the best especially when you're South African/having it straight from Five Rose's😂😂
What is 5 roses?!
@@zoie4000 it's really good highly recommend trying any type of 5 Roses tea
Another South African in the house ! I love my rooibos tea
could you do recipes for better sleep? my boyfriend is looking to get healthier and sleep easier (he lays awake for hours), and one of your lattes in this video sparked the idea. thanks! loved the video xx
I'm interested in trying the turmeric, chai, and ginger.
Super Rowena, just super! I bet you’re a great instructor. Thank you
5:14 is when the recipes start :)
wow you made a really creative twist on the usual lattes I'm quite excited to try some of these ASAP. Also, VERY informative, I didn't know that there were 2 types of cinnamon!! thanks for the video
could you link the article about tumeric and antidepressants?
I found a meta-analysis which uses available studies to get a full image so it's a bit more useful than a single study :) :
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28236605
I also found a study that could have been the one used in the video for anyone who is curious: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23832433
it’s like we are incapable of doing our own research.
@@PHOEBUSDANCER I don't think it's that we can't do our own research, but some people want the same article she had read to see if it was credible, or are just interested in reading it. Citing your resources and references is a good practice outside of just writing a paper.
Palooka Derp a simple search using her numbers she quoted yielded me the link immediately. The hard work is literally already done for you.
You truly have blessed me with this knowledge I been eating healthier and thanks to you I know ingredients I didn’t know before that can help with my health an just overall a healthier lifestyle 💐
I loved this! I can’t wait to add some of these fun lattes to my morning routine 🥰
I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing 🙂 it’s very real and informative unlike other fake and so called fancy videos with no content.
Thank you for doing this.
thank you for existing and for being here heh 💕
Thank you for existing. You have helped me a lot. You may me feel normal. Honestly I always wondered how you made your drinks. I love tea but some of your drinks just looked yummy in previous videos. Have a beautiful day/night and I'm glad you are feeling a better. You looked and sounded happy in this video.
Honestly, I have been dyyying to get into the superfood drinking habit and this has helped since ive got some left over matcha and tumeric from when I first tried. Rowena already has me hooked on the collagen, the kernel powder, manuka honey, and oat milks are next
I never used black sugar I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF IT 😳 I'm so glad you made this video because I need to try new drinks for the morning I feel so blessed
Gives me a reason to do some online shopping 😂😂💕💕
Girl, we have the same milk frother 🥛 It makes me oddly happy to think that we’re somehow connected half around the world through this 😘
Is bad milk frother. I had it
As someone who's replaced all sodas and juice with tea and water, this is so helpful!! As I'm getting older, I'm noticing my body start to change, so I'd like to incorporate more vitamins and minerals in my diet, even though we eat pretty healthy.
YAAAAYY I've been looking to buy Matcha powder to make my own Matcha lattes 💚 now I know how to 😄
let me know how it goes!! 🍵😋
@rowena can we get measurements?😢
this girl is the magical wizard of lattes
As a danish person, it's so funny to hear people pronounce "Hygge" xD
Michala Reichenbach im from sweden and i was so suprised by the way she pronounced it. i wasn’t even aware of the fact that people outside scandinavia knew/used that word
norwegian here, I was so surprised
i first heard of "hygge" about 2 years ago, here in Germany where I live, but then again, we're practically neighbours ^^ but yeah, it seems to be a thing now everywhere
@@faliandra7659 it is so a thing in some communities in the US
I have a pair of hygge pajamas and a hygge book. I'm not Danish but love comfort. 🙂
I have never made a matcha before, but I am into sustainability and health. Came across your channel... instant follow and I am going to try making one with almond milk.
rooibos is the most common tea here? damnnn didn’t know it was that good for you!
Yay!! Awesome video-- thanks so much for your attention to detail including excellent music, cool shots of the view out your windows and of course a terrific content choice.
SOOOOOOO i already know the first thing Im doing when we are done with quarentine: Im going to buy matcha.
Rowena girl... 🤩YES thank you for your amazing videos! I just started watching about a month again and you've helped me organize my life all over again thank you 🥰🙌🏽
my god all these ingredients are so expensive :(
You can find a lot of fancier ingredients for a discount at TJ Maxx/Marshalls (Coconut sugar, oils, teas, syrup, cinnamon) and check out Asian Markets or Amazon for the matcha. Plant based milk you can buy at Walmart or make your own. :)
They last longer to be fair
Usually, good quality ingredients will cost more, but they'll also last longer. I never buy any tea from supermarkets, nor the ones in bags anymore, because, in the long run, I'll still pay the same amount of money for a lesser quality tea. I buy my teas and rooibos in a local tea shop, and it has changed my life. It's 10€ for a 100g container, but the tea lasts me for months (I also rotate them, so that helps). Just two teaspoons in my 1.5L teapot and I'm set. And let's not even talk about taste.
ALthough I do agree that some of the ingredients she used were a bit too overkill for me. No need to add more than just the tea, a good sweetener, water and milk.
Expensive but nothing absurd.
It is but think about this. They boost your immune system, you get less sick. Your skin looks better. So you can buy less beauty products or medecine! And they last a long time. I bought a huge bag of cinnamon (around a kilo) like a year and a half ago for less than ten dollars and I'm not even halfway through. Turmeric too. You can buy oat and make oatmilk for a few cents. Even sweeteners! We buy coconut sugar for almost nothing at Bulk Barn. I get my matcha from Amazon when there are discount. It's expensive at first but it lasts a while (and you can skip coffee if you drink that). I'm a mom of 2 and a college student. I know how expensive life can be but you choose where you invest your money and I don't buy drinks outside of the house and don't drink sodas or juices. In the end I think I break out even ☺
Hello Rowena, this is my first video from your channel. Really enjoyed it. As a daily Matcha drinker it was nice to see the variety of lattes and teas.
hi Maria! happy the youtube elves allowed our paths to cross and glad you found the video helpful :)
Thank goodness for those RUclips elves lol. You got a new subscriber!👍
quench my thirst rowena ily
gotchuuu 😜
Yas
When I first tried Rooibos tea, straight up thought i was drinking dirt. But started to like it more. Specially after the museum mansion that i internship at made a v-day drink with the tea. So good!
who is a smoothie lover like me?
This video so yammy))) i wanna try allllllll
45 seconds in this video and I already hit the like button. Love your voice!
SHE HAS A CUP THAT SAYS MOUTH BREATHER WHY DO I NEED THAT
Absolutely loved this video! Hope you continue to make these types of videos
I hope the people watching these videos know the health risks of the mentioned super foods though...like apricot kernel and spirulina. Maybe you could also add that you are not a nutritionist/dietist and to consume at own risk.
I think it’s so weird that she likes the comments that say something in the lines of “Who else likes this video??” And doesn’t likes the comment about health risks, I think it’s really weird
@@oh-ohstinky5819 Because she only cares about the views and pleasants comments. That's all. Don't accept being criticized.
hey alisa! the “apricot kernel” I mentioned is actually taiwanese almond powder. sometimes words get mixed up when translated. and noted and fully onboard for the disclaimed, I will be sure to include it in future videos where I mention superfoods 🙏🏻 appreciate the constructive feedback!
• m e x x a l i • hi friend, this video was posted a while ago and I haven’t been checking the comments. like i’ve mentioned in a few comments, the “apricot kernel” in this video is actually taiwanese almond powder, not the poisonous powder 🙏🏻
Rowena Tsai I’ve eeen! Thank you for adding that ^^!
Rowena I love this video!😍 I love that you showed us how to make the lattes, as this can be cheaper than buying the ready made ones. I’m so excited to add this to my self care/healthy treat routine!!!!
okay so superfood lattes are where I venture next...
Thanks for this amazing content!! I appreciate that you took the time to explain the health benefits of the ingredients!!!
My Japanese teacher goes insane when people call rooibos "tea" because it has no tea in it, hence it's not tea.
I’ve just been to a little hippie music festival over the weekend and saw these lattes everywhere. I already love matcha and chai lattes but I was so fascinated by turmeric and rooibos. I’ll give them a try 🌞
IMPORTANT: coconut oil is not a healthy fat.
This is such a common myth, but as I am educated in chemistry, it has a LOT of saturated („bad“) fats and almost no unsaturated („good“) fats. If you really want healthy fats, go for olive oil or flaxseed oil (which is also great for digestion) or walnut oil.
PLEASE DON‘T THINK COCONUT OIL IS HEALTHY! IT ISN‘T!
Looks soo delishh!!
I just tried matcha latté for the first time this week and i always thought it would taste like pistachio with vanilla kardemom flavour because of its green color. So i am little bit disapointed right now that it tastes like the delish green tea i drink on a daily only with vegan milk.
3:05 as a canadian maple syrup is the only sweetener I need
Been drinking chai latte for three weeks now and this just pops up in my recommendations!! I’m gonna make turmeric latte today. 👀🙏🏽 thanks for this video!
Im watching this while being in quarantine (so I can't buy anything) and eating ramen for breakfast.
Omg same!!
Im so glad I stumbled across this video from Beauty Within. I love relaxing yet beneficial videos like this. Im so happy you made this! Thank you 😊 🙏
Really 5,50$ ???? I bought that Numi tiea for 3,99$ at smiths!!! Hello! Good morning!!!
I always love the editing of these straight forward, clean and informative videos. I’m definitely going to try some of these out and I’ve been eyeing a milk foamer ever since your top 7 things to simplify life video.
Hygge is prouniunced more like “higge” rather than “hugge”
I always love watching your videos💛 they bring me so much peace and happiness🌻 love you Rowena
i love when americans try to just casually put in hygge to sound hip but has no clue how to pronounce it xD "giggles in danish"
Kaptajnkringle wouldnt it be nice if after your snarky remark you perhaps bestowed upon us your oh-so-special knowledge in regards to its proper pronunciation
Kaptajnkringle giggles in shake my whole damn head
@@7000nina it was not to be snarky, i just find Americans trying to pronounce it hilarious and i dont get why it has become a saying there as it sounds like they are struggling a lot with it :P I apologize if it came across snarky :P But of course i can bestow on you my danish knowledge :) The y is more pronounced as Ü more than U or just like you would say the Y sound in Yggdrasil :)
I could have made a way more snarky comment if it was actually something that bothered me xD
@@ritsen13 that's cool, i was snarky on purpose and I'm glad you were cool about it too, good on you to respond positively thanks
It will be great if you can share some of your self-prepared meals as a single person staying alone. Sometimes, it's really difficult for me to eat healthy especially after work. I'll be too tired to cook and I'll just eat anything conveniently available. Love the colours of the lattes!
More videos please :) I need new ideas and I’ve gotten lazy with lattes. Thank you for sharing
I love the numi teas! Their rooibos chai is great for caffeine free chai
