Matcha Muffins and Iced Green Tea?
Thursday, July 2. 2009
It’s true. The much revered Japanese Green Tea can be fun,healthy and rewarding to bake with and chilled green tea is a refreshing summer drink. In fact Japanese food stores are brimming with confectionary flavoured with green tea and drink vending machines stock green tea amongst colas and other popular soft drinks.
This has motivated us to introduce a Japanese Green Tea recipe competition to inspire our members to experiment and share their experiences.
Win this fabulous teapot pottered by the renowned Tokoname Kyusu factory and valued at over US$100.
To be eligable to win simply send in your recipe using Japanese Green Tea to info@tea-charaku.com by December 5th. The lucky prize winner will be decided on December 12th.
To set the ball rolling we tried the following Matcha recipe last weekend with good results. If you have a sweet tooth the introduction of chocolate chips or icing may enhance the taste.
