MATCHA GREEN TEA FROSTING/ICING
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.

Steps:
- Combine white chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until chocolate is almost completely melted. Remove from heat and continue to stir until remaining chocolate is melted and mixture is thoroughly combined.
- In a small bowl, combine matcha with cold water, adding one teaspoon at a time to reach same consistency as white chocolate ganache. Add green tea mixture to ganache; stir until incorporated. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. If ganache remains too loose to pipe, briefly stir over an ice bath until thick enough to pipe, being careful not to let it become too firm.

Tips:
- Use high-quality matcha powder: The quality of your matcha powder will greatly affect the flavor of your frosting. Look for a powder that is a vibrant green color and has a smooth, fine texture.
- Sift the matcha powder before using: This will help to remove any clumps and ensure that the powder is evenly distributed throughout the frosting.
- Gradually add the matcha powder to the frosting: Start by adding a small amount of powder and then gradually increase the amount until you reach the desired flavor. Be careful not to add too much powder, as this can make the frosting bitter.
- Use a light hand when mixing the frosting: Over-mixing can cause the frosting to become stiff and grainy. Mix the frosting just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Chill the frosting before using: This will help the frosting to set and make it easier to spread.
Conclusion:
Matcha green tea frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its unique flavor and beautiful green color, matcha green tea frosting is sure to impress your friends and family.
