Matcha Pie image

Matcha, or powdered green tea, makes this pie a verdant green. Melissa and Emily Elsen, the owners of Four & Twenty Blackbirds in Brooklyn, use a culinary grade matcha, which is less bitter and which you can find online. Serve the pie plain or with whipped cream.

The matcha flavor was very strong for my taste. I think I would use less matcha next time.
