10 Matcha Recipes To Win You Over To The Green Side, In Case You Haven't Jumped On This Trend Already
In case you haven't noticed, matcha — and by association, matcha recipes — is having a moment. This fine powdered version of green tea is popping up everywhere, from beverage shots to super sweet desserts. It has a very distinct taste, and offers a variety of health benefits (from antioxidants to metabolism boosters). Green tea has basically become the answer to any problem, so since the actual leaves of green tea are what matcha powder is made of, it's no surprise that matcha is also good for you. Since the flavor is unique, but still quite subtle, it seems to fit in all kinds of snacks and dessert recipes. Here are 10 of our favorites.
