Big Cup of Green Tea

Here we are at the end of March...and this is my last green tea illustration. Oh hum.

But the sorrow doesn't end - starting Friday I'll be painting the alphabet for April. The focus will be breakfast foods. If you want to participate in which breakfast foods I draw for each letter please visit my Facebook Fan Page. See you in a couple of days!

Green Tea Ice Cream Cups

This is a very simple recipe in a lovely paper cup.  Presentation really is everything.  Take a peak at Amy Ormond's beautiful site and learn how to "craft" these yourself.

Edible Shamrocks

I know, I know...I should have posted these on St. Patrick's Day.  I just wasn't organized enough.  You can still enjoy the recipe at She Who Eats.  Of course, one of the ingredients is green tea.

Matcha Strawberry Cupcake

These cupcakes have a sweet strawberry center.  Actually most of the cupcakes on the Sweetest Kitchen website have a delectable center.  You really have to check them out.

What is "matcha"?  Very simply it is a Japanese tea made from powdered green tea leaves...used often in baked goods.

Ochazuke

I thought I'd diverge from sweets for a bit and show green tea in a new way.  Ochazuke is "a bowl of rice with a variety of toppings served in tea" (in this case, green tea).  To learn more about this Japanese dish, please visit Kitchen M.
