Matcha Candy Cane Steamer

Can't decide between McDreamy and McSteamy? Well guess what, you can have both... in a beverage that is. This creamy, dreamy, and steamy matcha candy cane steamer will transport you to a cozy, snowed-in winter cabin in the mountains. We can't guarantee that you'll actually be able to see the frost-covered trees and delicate icicles with every sip, but we can't say that you won't either. But even if you aren't whisked away to a winter wonderland, you'll still be whisking your way to a festive and delicious drink. Matcha and peppermint are the uplifting duo that you didn't know you needed. Matcha makes you feel great about your beverage choice while crushed candy canes give you something to smile about. And, the best part is, that your personal winter wonderland is only four steps away.
