Matcha green tea powder, 50g · Mizrahi & Tefahot

Green tea powder matcha is one of the most recognizable ingredients in the world of Japanese tea and desserts. It adds a beautiful green color, a distinct green tea flavor, and a delicate aroma to drinks and desserts, suitable for both everyday use and more elaborate sweet dishes.

It can be used to make traditional matcha with hot water, matcha latte with milk or plant-based milk, cold drinks with ice, sponge cakes, cookies, vanilla-matcha cream, homemade ice cream, pancakes, smoothies, and layered desserts. This is a simple way to bring a clean, elegant, and somewhat different Japanese flavor into your home.

Tips
For a smooth texture, it is recommended to sift the powder before mixing. For hot matcha, first mix with a little hot water until a smooth paste is formed, and only then add more water or milk. For cold matcha latte, mix with a little water, add milk and ice, and sweeten to taste. In desserts, start with a small amount and gradually add more to maintain a balance between color, flavor, and a subtle bitterness.
