Heat Water

To preserve the health benefits of matcha, also known as powder matcha, the water temperature must not be too hot. Start by heating water in a stovetop or electric kettle. Heat to a simmer, the temperature should be about 175 F°.

Pour Water in matcha bowl

Pour out the water and dry, before placing your sifter (furui) over the matcha bowl. Use your bamboo scoop (chashaku), measure out 3 scoops of the matcha green tea powder, and sift. 

Measure

Then, add 1/4cup of the heated water and whisk the matcha powder to create a froth by using a back and forth whisking action.

How to make Hot Matcha Green Tea

Learn how to cold-brew green tea at home! This simple method helps prevent the bitter flavors, while extracting a very smooth, aromatic, and healthy green tea. It’s our go-to refreshing tea to enjoy on warm days.

How to Cold Brew Green Tea

g green tea leaves

L room temperature or cold filtered water ((4 ¼ cups))

Gather the ingredient. We use this cold brew coffee/tea maker.

Put the tea leaves in the cold brew maker. I use a kitchen scale to measure the exact 15 grams.

Add 1 liter (4 ¼ cups) filtered water.

Let it steep in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.

Discard the tea leaves from the pitcher. Serve with or without ice. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

Jun tea, like kombucha, is an effervescent probiotic drink.  Jun is mild and delicate with a pleasantly tart flavor infused with the floral notes of honey. Serve it over ice, or with crushed berries stirred in.

Jun Tea Recipe

loose-leaf green tea

honey

Jun SCOBY

Jun tea

Bring water to 170 F in a kettle.  While the water comes to temperature, sprinkle the looseleaf green tea into a large jar or pitcher.  Pour the hot water over the tea, and then let it steep at least 3 and up to 5 minutes.

Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into your jar, and then let it cool to room temperature (65-75 F).

Preparing the green tea and honey.

Once the tea is cooled to room temperature and mixed with honey, add your SCOBY and 1/2 cup Jun tea from a previous batch.  Cover the jar with cheesecloth or butter muslin, and let the jun culture 3 to 5 days, or until it smells pleasantly sour and faintly sweet.

Carefully remove the Jun SCOBY and set it on a plate. Stir the remaining jun tea, and reserve 1/2 cup tea for your next batch. Prepare a fresh batch of Jun right away, or store the SCOBY and reserved tea in a jar up at room temperature up to 1 week.

Brewing jun tea.

After reserving the SCOBY and 1/2 cup tea, stir the jun once more, and then pour it into 4 pint-sized flip-top bottles. Let them culture at room temperature 2 to 3 days, then enjoy immediately or transfer to the fridge where they&#x27;ll keep up to 3 months.

Matcha Mille Crepe Cake is made of thin layers of green tea crepes stacked together with fresh whipped cream in-between.&nbsp; This elegant and decadent cake will wow your guests when they see the rich green layers!

Matcha Mille Crepe Cake

¾ cup whole milk

Tbsp sugar

eggs (50 g each w/o shell)

½ Tbsp melted unsalted butter ((25 g))

cake flour

Tbsp matcha (green tea powder) ((12 g))

½ tsp baking powder

neutral-flavored oil (vegetable, canola, etc) ((for cooking crepes))

heavy (whipping) cream ((240 ml))

tsp matcha (green tea powder) ((for dusting))

whipped cream ((optional: please double

Gather all the ingredients. Please use cake flour only! It’s important not to use flour with a high gluten content such as bread flour or all-purpose/plain flour for this recipe. Otherwise, you will end up with a rubbery cake.

Add the milk and sugar in a small sauce pan and combine well. Heat on medium heat until the milk is warm to touch.

Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Then slowly add small amount (½ cup at a time) of warm milk while whisking. While whisking, slowly add the melted butter to the mixture.

Set up a fine-mesh sieve over the bowl and add cake flour, matcha powder, and baking powder. Sift half of the dry ingredients into the batter and whisk to combine the dry and wet ingredients together.

Sift the rest of dry ingredients and mix until there is no lump in the batter. IMPORTANT: Do not overmix; mixing and stirring increases gluten formation in the batter, which causes a rubbery texture.

Set the fine-mesh sieve over a large bowl and pour the batter.  This will remove any lumps and get a smooth texture. Cover with plastic wrap to refrigerate for at least 1 hour (DO NOT SKIP!). Tip: If you overmix the batter, you may want to rest the batter for longer hours. Resting the batter is important because it allows the gluten to relax. If you don&#039;t rest long enough the crepes will be more rubbery due to gluten development.

To make crepe batter

Set a 12-inch non-stick frying pan on low heat.  Once the pan is hot, brush the oil and remove excess oil with a paper towel (don’t worry, oil is applied thinly). Gently stir the batter right before scooping with a ladle (otherwise, the batter will be too thick toward the end). Pour the batter just enough to cover the bottom of the frying pan, about 1/3 cup for my pan. After trying the first crepe and if you want to make a thinner crepe, gradually add milk to adjust the batter.

Cook for 2 minutes without touching.  By now you’d see the outside edge of the crepe gets tiny bit crispier.  Using a chopstick, spatula or hand, flip the crepe.

Cook the other side for 30 seconds and transfer to a working surface lined with parchment paper.

Set a 10-inch non-stick frying pan on low heat.  Once the pan is hot*, brush the oil and remove excess oil with a paper towel. Pour the batter just enough to cover the bottom of the frying pan, about ¼ cup for my pan. *The hot pan helps the water in eggs and milk turn into steam and the crepe will puff up and become softer. But it can&#039;t be too hot, which ends up cooking the crepe too fast and you can&#039;t swirl the batter into a thin layer.

Continue this process until all the batter is used. Make sure to stir the batter EVERY TIME before you make a new batch (otherwise, the batter will be too thick toward the end). With this batter, I could make 1 large one that goes on top, and 13 crepes.

To cook the crepes

Prepare ice bath by adding ice cubes and water in a larger bowl and set a smaller bowl on top.  Add the heavy whipping cream and start whisking on lower speed.  Once you see bubbles, slowly add granulated sugar.

Whip the cream until stiff, not hard stiff (like 90%).

To make whipped cream

Prepare two long parchment paper strips on a working surface or a rotating cake stand (I used IKEA's lazy susan).&nbsp; These strips will go under the first layer of crepe (this is for easy transportation).

First place the larger crepe.  This will be the top layer when we flip.  Put the freshly whipped cream in the middle and spread evenly, leaving outer 2 inch.

Place another crepe on top and spread whip cream evenly, leaving outer ½ inch.

Continue this process until the last crepe is placed on top.

Prepare a round curved shallow dish (mine is from IKEA) and place a large piece of plastic wrap on top.  Make sure to remove any air pockets and smooth out.  Transfer the mille crepe to the shallow dish by holding the strips you made.   Once you place nicely in the middle of the bowl, remove the strips.

Wrap the mille crepe with plastic wrap from one corner to clockwise.  This will make the final cake evenly round, instead of wrap randomly.  Secure the end with clip (I use one from IKEA).  Refrigerate at least 2 hours until the cake is set.

To assemble the mille crepe cake

Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and flip onto the serving platter.

Dust more matcha powder over the cake.  Make the fresh whipped cream if you plan to serve with the cake.  Serve and enjoy within a few days as we are using fresh cream.

To serve

This no-churn Matcha ice cream requires only 3 ingredients and can be made easily in just 10 minutes. No ice cream maker needed! This homemade ice cream is rich, flavorful, and irresistibly delicious, made simply in the comfort of your home!

3-Ingredient Matcha Ice Cream

sweetened condensed milk

tbsp matcha powder (add more if desired)

heavy whipping cream (cold)

Add sweetened condensed milk into a bowl. Sift in the matcha powder and mix until well combined. Set aside.

Add heavy cream to a mixing bowl, or into a bowl of a stand mixer. Start whipping on low speed, gradually increase the speed, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Fold in the matcha paste, and whip again on medium speed until well combined.

Transfer to a freezer-safe airtight container (or a loaf pan sealed tightly with plastic wrap) and freeze for at least 6 hours before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
