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.

- Add more confectioners sugar and a little milk (dairy or otherwise) to loosen up the frosting a little bit and make it spreadable.

Tips for Perfect Matcha Icing:
- Use high-quality matcha powder: The quality of your matcha powder will have a significant impact on the flavor and color of your icing. Look for a powder that is finely milled and has a vibrant green color.
- Sift the matcha powder: Sifting the matcha powder before adding it to your icing will help to prevent clumps and ensure a smooth, even texture.
- Gradually add the matcha powder: Add the matcha powder to your icing gradually, whisking constantly to prevent clumping. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired flavor and color.
- Use cold ingredients: Cold ingredients will help to keep the icing from becoming too thin or runny. Use cold butter, cream cheese, or milk in your icing.
- Chill the icing before using: Chilling the icing before using will help it to set and hold its shape. Place the icing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.
Conclusion:
Matcha icing is a delicious and versatile icing that can be used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your desired flavor and color. With these tips, you can create perfect matcha icing that will impress your friends and family.
