Matcha always clicks when it comes to dessert. Our favorite simple dessert to make with matcha green tea is the smooth and silky Matcha Pudding!
We are using the ceremonial grade matcha in this recipe to get the deep and elegant matcha taste. However, sometimes it might be too thick to make a pudding. Feel free to substitute the organic matcha green tea powder with sweetened matcha powder or culinary-grade matcha powder.
About Matcha
Matcha (抹茶) is 100% green tea leaves that have been grounded into a fine powder. Matcha is a high-quality green tea because the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) was shaded-grown for three to four weeks before the matcha harvesting process. Enjoy the delicious and healthy matcha as one cup of matcha has a nutrition value equal to 10 cups of green tea.
