Most of us have had green tea, but how about green tea powder?
I had been noticing all sorts of recipes that called for the stuff, but couldn’t locate it at any grocery stores. I even popped into some tea/spice shops in Chinatown to no avail.
Matcha Source to the rescue! They sell a powdered green tea that is made of Japanese whole leaves, picked in the springtime and then ground into a fine dust.
I used a sample Wendy sent me to whip up some delicious hot green tea lattes. The green tea flavor, as expected, is pronounced–but not overpowering, and not bitter at all.
The website has myriad other recipes using powdered green tea, too, ranging from butternut squash and flavored salt to ice cream and truffles. And remember, anything made with green tea is healthy!
