All About Matcha
Matcha is green tea that is ground into a powder and traditionally added to water and whipped into a frothy drink. It originated in Song dynasty china and is also strongly associated with the tea culture of Japan. Matcha is delicious, wakes you up, and has many health benefits, so it’s no surprise that its popularity is growing. Matcha is also a delicious and versatile ingredient, adding a unique sweet flavour to cakes, pancakes, ice cream, or lattes.

This recipe is also sugar free so a good snack to have if you are avoiding excess sugar. Serve with butter or clotted cream with a nice afternoon tea like Kenilworth Ceylon or the 1903 Blend.
