Korean Slate

I’d been familiar with Vegemil as a brand of soy milk so I was very surprised to see this at the store. Green tea???

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be soy milk flavored with green tea.

On the Tetra-Pak Label: The refreshing taste of green tea contains soybean oligosaccharide, dietary fiber, isoflavones, polyphenol and catechin.

I enjoyed drinking this soy milk, if only for the novelty of it being flavored with green tea. Can’t find the receipt, but the price was probably around 80 cents. Worth trying.
