green tea pop ice

[gingkoseto]

I made some green tea pop ice with green powder. I love making pop ice myself because I would know exactly what's in it I used green tea powder, water, light cream and maple syrup. That's all!


I used this green tea powder product. The product is also labeled "matcha" but strictly speaking it's just green powder, not as fine as matcha. But it's much less expensive than matcha, and is similar to the material used to make "matcha icecream"

Do you whip it, then put it in molds?

Yeah. The pink stick is from the mold. I just stired even the mixture of ingredient. I use this ugly little "mixer" a friend gave me. My friend got a whole set of Teavana tetsubin tea set. The tea set is beautiful and looks expensive, but this bamboo "egg beater" in the set looks quite out of place. Nobody knows why this ugly little thing was included there so my friend gave it to me.

The "egg beater" is probaby a (very rough) bastardization of a chasen, a bamboo whisk to mix the powder with hot water. See e.g. here: http://www.yuuki-cha.com/Organic+Matcha/Matcha+Whisks

I used to have these ice cream molds when i was a child

Those look funky!

And bubble green tea made with tea powder, milk and sugar. Most of the time I would skip the electric beater and just make it green tea latte
