Cakes, cookies and desserts with green tea

Popular green tea is tasty and healthy not only as a miracle drink that gives a boost of energy, slows down the process of age-related changes and helps you lose excess weight. It retains its taste and healing properties in the process of preparing wonderful baked goods and original desserts. Many amazingly delicious sweets are prepared using green tea – biscuits, cakes, pancakes, a variety of cookies, muffins, cheesecakes and other interesting and unusual baked goods. It is also added to ice cream, mousses, jellies and other delicious desserts prepared for special occasions.

Green Tea Powder for Baking and Desserts

Most often, Japanese matcha green tea is used for baking and cooking – it is a powder made from the leaves of a special type of tea bush. It gives products a special, unique taste and aroma, making them incredibly beautiful, with an emerald tint. Since matcha tea is quite expensive, not every lover of original sweets will be able to use it in baking. You can try replacing the powder with regular green tea, ground in a coffee grinder, but the taste and color will not be as wonderful.

An excellent alternative is powders from various varieties of green tea, made specifically for confectionery purposes. They are much cheaper, but at the same time practically not inferior in quality and properties to matcha. Conveniently packaged powder compositions can be used to prepare all kinds of sweets, experimenting with original recipes or creating your own. Thanks to special processing during preparation, green tea powder retains all its beneficial properties. Therefore, any dishes turn out not only very tasty, aromatic and emerald, but also very beneficial for health and appearance.
