Green tea powder – also known as Matcha – is traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony and a popular sweets ingredient in Japan now.
This is a chilled dessert custard that has rich and mildly bitter green tea flavour and creamy in texture.
The beautiful natural green colour and the scent of Matcha make me calm.
