Matcha Tea, Cold Brew Coffee (1 piece)

Choose plain matcha and cold brew with no sugar, syrups, honey, sweetened creamers, or juice-based additions.

Have caffeinated drinks with or after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include protein and fiber such as eggs with vegetables or unsweetened Greek yogurt with chia seeds.

Reduce the serving size and caffeine dose: try half-strength matcha, a smaller cold brew, or diluting cold brew with water or unsweetened milk.

Avoid drinking matcha and cold brew close together; space caffeine servings several hours apart and observe which drink produces the larger rise.

Add unsweetened milk or a small amount of nuts alongside the drink instead of carbohydrate-heavy snacks or pastries.

Track the drink type, amount, timing, sleep, and any additions for several days; if elevations persist, discuss caffeine sensitivity and medication timing with your clinician.
