What does moringa taste like? Our tips for preparing it

Moringa has an earthy, herbaceous taste. Depending on the powder, the amount used, and the preparation, you may also notice a slight bitterness. If you are trying this plant for the first time, choose a recipe with ingredients you already enjoy.

Is moringa similar to matcha?

Their green color and preparation as a latte can be confusing. However, they are two different plants. Moringa comes from the leaves of Moringa oleifera. Matcha comes from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. So, do not expect exactly the same taste.

What to mix moringa with?

Banana gives a smoothie a creamy texture. Mango adds a fruity flavor. Vanilla complements the earthy notes in a latte. You can also try a little lemon and ginger if you prefer tart flavors.

Choose just one combination for your first preparation. You can then adjust your recipe without multiplying the ingredients.

Why does my drink have lumps?

Pouring all the powder directly into a large glass can make the mixture difficult to prepare. Start with a small amount of liquid. Whisk, then add the rest. For a smoothie, use a blender.

Leaf powder does not behave like sugar that dissolves. A sediment may form at the bottom of the glass. Stir your drink to distribute the powder.

How to make the taste less intense?

Follow the serving size on your packaging and increase the volume of your drink if you want to dilute the taste. You can also spread this same serving in a larger preparation. Adding more powder does not necessarily make the recipe better.

Hot or iced?

Try both to compare. For a hot latte, mix the powder with a little water, then add hot milk. For an iced latte, use cold milk and ice cubes. The choice depends on your preferences.
