DEE'S PEANUT PUNCH MATCHA LATTE

Dee's Peanut Punch Matcha Latte is our newest special here at JENKI. 

We have teamed up with the lovely Denai Moore, also known as "Dee's Table" on this amazing vegan drink. It's deep, rich, creamy and not too sweet. With an energising kick from the Matcha.

The recipe comes from Dee's new Vegan Jamaican cookbook "Plentiful" and it's inspired from her memories of drinking Peanut Punch when Dee was growing up, and we have added a Matcha twist to it and together they are perfection! 

This drink will be launched on Friday 17th of November and will be available at our bars in Spitalfields and Selfridges for two weeks, until the 30th of November. 

Can't make it down to a JENKI bar, well why not try whisk up this special at home?
