MATCHA GREEN TEA SMOOTHIE OR ICED LATTE



Matcha Green Tea Smoothie or Iced Latte image

If you've read a newspaper or watched the news recently you've probably heard about all the health benefits of drinking Green Tea. It has tons of antioxidents and helps boost metabolism and helps you burn more fat and thus lose more weight. I enjoy drinking green tea and occasionally I enjoy a Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino, or a Jamba Juice Matcha Smoothie Blast. This recipe is one I developed to be able to enjoy these smoothies at home. I think it tastes great and is really good for your health too. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Please note that this recipe does require premium matcha green tea powder. This is not just regular green tea leaves pulverized. This premium powder can be purchased at Japanese grocers, or online. I happen to purchase mine on that popular online auction site I'm sure you're familiar with. I use the "Usucha" (or thin) matcha green tea powder that comes straight from Kyoto, Japan. Feel free to contact me if you need help finding this tea and I can show you where to purchase it directly. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
2 teaspoons superfine sugar
1 tablespoon green tea powder (matcha)
1 teaspoon instant yeast
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Place flour, 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons sugar, green tea powder, yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl and mix by hand. Make a well in the center and pour in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk and beaten egg. Mix to form a soft dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead until dough becomes smooth and is no longer sticky, about 5 minutes. Knead and mix 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons butter into the dough.
  • Continue to knead until dough is smooth and elastic and no longer sticks to the work surface, about 15 minutes. Smooth dough into a ball and place in a mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let dough rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Lightly grease a loaf pan. Remove dough from the bowl and punch out accumulated air. Place on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll dough into a large rectangle slightly wider than the length of the loaf pan and as long as possible. Roll dough tightly, Swiss-roll style. Pinch dough to seal the seam tightly. Place seam-side down in the prepared pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rise a second time until it fills 80% of the pan, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove bread from pan immediately and let cool completely before slicing, about 30 minutes.

MATCHA GREEN TEA SWISS ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY



Matcha Green Tea Swiss Roll Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: milk, cornstarch, white sugar, honey, heavy cream, vanilla extract, white sugar, eggs, matcha green tea powder, honey, cake flour

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¼ cups milk
¼ cup cornstarch
⅓ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon honey
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
2 teaspoons honey
¼ cup cake flour

Steps:

  • Start with the filling. Pour the milk into a small saucepan, and sprinkle over the cornstarch, whisk until combined.
  • Next, add the honey and sugar stirring continuously over a low heat. When the milk mixture almost starts to boil it will thicken and get a bit lumpy, don't panic! Just keep stirring until it smooths out. Continue to stir the now thick milk mixture over the heat for an additional 1-2 minutes, to cook out the cornstarch flavor.
  • Take off the heat and pour into a bowl or shallow dish. Cover the mixture with cling wrap, pushing it all the way to the top of the custard to prevent a film from forming and chill this in the refrigerator until cold.
  • Next, make the cake by combining the sugar, honey, matcha powder, and eggs in a large bowl. Mix until it almost triples in size, is lighter in color, and becomes thick and fluffy. This will take about 7-10 minutes. If you dribble some of the batter on itself it should hold a "ribbon" shape for 4-5 seconds.
  • Once the batter has reached the correct consistency sift over the cake flour, and gently fold the flour in until all combined.
  • Heat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C) and butter your baking sheet. Place a piece of parchment paper (a few inches larger than your baking sheet) onto your baking sheet. Using a rubber scraper (or your hand) push out any bubbles.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • NOTE: You'll know it's done when the cake is slightly risen, turning just a bit golden, and you can smell it. Also, if you gently press your fingertips on the surface of the cake, and no indentations are left, it's done.
  • In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream with electric beaters until it is thick and pretty stiff, little peaks should form when you lift the beaters.
  • Grab your chilled custard from the fridge. Add one tsp of vanilla extract. Take the same beaters and whisk your custard, it will look funny at first, but after a few moments it will become nice and smooth.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the custard until they are combined.
  • Cool your cake for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet. Lay a fresh sheet of parchment beside your cake and sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
  • Lift the cake with the sides of the parchment onto your table. Flip the cake onto the sugared parchment paper.
  • Remove parchment paper from the flipped cake.
  • Slather the filling onto your cake.
  • Roll it up, using the parchment to help.
  • Wrap the whole thing in cling wrap and chill for two hours before slicing.
  • Slice into pieces of your desired thickness and serve.
  • Enjoy!

MATCHA GREEN TEA FROSTING/ICING



Matcha Green Tea Frosting/Icing image

I love a good buttercream frosting made with real ingredients. I love matcha/green tea. How could I NOT combine the two?! The kind of matcha I buy comes in 5g packets, so I would use 5 packets to get 25g of powder. This is standard batch that makes enough to frost about 24-30 normal sized cupcakes; 10-15 Texas Muffin sized ones.

3 -4 cups confectioners' sugar
25 g matcha green tea powder
milk, as needed (or soymilk, almond milk, etc 2-4 tbsp)

  • Put the butter in the bottom of a bowl, with about 2 cups of confetctioners sugar. Mix with an electric beater.
  • Add the matcha powder, and beat again.
  • Add more confectioners sugar and a little milk (dairy or otherwise) to loosen up the frosting a little bit and make it spreadable.

MATCHA GREEN TEA SWISS ROLL WITH STRAWBERRY MOUSSE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



MATCHA GREEN TEA SWISS ROLL WITH STRAWBERRY MOUSSE Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by DeliciouslyDished

Number Of Ingredients 13

Matcha Green Tea Cake:
1 cup cake flour
2 Tbsp matcha powder*
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
5 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup whole milk
Strawberry Mousse:
1 2/3 cup strawberry puree
1/2 gelatin sheet**, bloomed
1/3-1/2 cup granulated sugar, depending on sweetness of strawberries
2 cups heavy cream, chilled

Steps:

  • Matcha Green Tea Cake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line jelly roll baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat baking mat. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together cake flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and milk until pale in color. In another clean bowl, whip egg white to medium-stiff peaks. Add dry flour mixture to yolk mixture. Fold to combine. Add whipped eggs in three additions. Gently fold to incorporate egg whites. Pour batter to prepared baking sheet. Use an offset spatula to spread batter into an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cake springs back to touch. Remove from oven and run a mini offset spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen cake. Invert cake into a clean kitchen towel. Slowly and gently remove parchment (or silpat) from cake. Use the kitchen towel to roll cake into a log. Let the cake rest on a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Once cake is cool, unroll the cake and remove the kitchen towel. Add a generous amount of strawberry mousse filing. Use an offset spatula to spread filling to an even layer. Use your hands to gently roll the cake back into a log. Place the seam at the bottom of the cake to prevent it from unraveling. Cover log with plastic wrap and let chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow mousse to set up. Strawberry Mousse: In a clean bowl, mix together strawberry puree and sugar. Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of your strawberries. Take about 1/4 cup of strawberry mixture and place in separate bowl. You will use this for the gelatin. Fill a small bowl of ice cold water to bloom gelatin for about 3 minutes. Squeeze out excess water from gelatin. Place soft gelatin sheets into bowl of reserved strawberry mixture. Microwave mixture 10 seconds at a time until gelatin has melted. Pour mixture into the rest of the strawberry puree. Set aside. Allow mixture to sit and come back to room temperature. In another bowl, whip chilled heavy cream to medium peaks. Add whipped cream to cooled strawberry mixture in three additions. Gently fold cream into mixture. Notes *I buy my matcha green tea powder from a local Asian market. If you want to purchase some online I recommend these: matcha green tea powder and traditional pure green tea powder ** I use silver strength gelatin sheets

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality matcha powder: Look for matcha powder that is vibrantly green in color and has a fine texture. Avoid matcha powder that is dull or has a coarse texture.
  • Use filtered or spring water: The quality of the water you use will affect the taste of your matcha tea. If you have access to filtered or spring water, use it instead of tap water.
  • Heat the water to the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for brewing matcha tea is between 160°F and 180°F (70°C and 80°C). If the water is too hot, it will burn the matcha powder and make it taste bitter.
  • Whisk the matcha powder until it is dissolved: Use a bamboo whisk to whisk the matcha powder until it is completely dissolved and there are no clumps. This will help to create a smooth and creamy cup of tea.
  • Enjoy your matcha tea immediately: Matcha tea is best enjoyed immediately after it is brewed. If you let it sit for too long, it will start to lose its flavor and nutrients.

Conclusion:

Matcha green tea is a delicious and healthy beverage that can be enjoyed in many different ways. The tips above will help you to make the perfect cup of matcha tea at home. Whether you are looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy on a hot day or a warm and comforting beverage to sip on a cold night, matcha green tea is a great choice.
