Matcha green tea and lime raw cheesecake

Print Recipe

My love of green tea is permeated in this lovely raw cheesecake. Green tea antioxidants may have a powerful effect in reducing inflammation and the severity of rheumatoid arthritis.  The antioxidant polyphenols found in tea help to neutralise the harmful effects of free radicals and possess much more potent antioxidant activity than Vitamins C and E.
