    As you have probably noticed, we have really been into matcha this past year. This is crazy if you knew how I, Veronique, used to strongly dislike the taste of it. I guess it's an acquired taste. Matcha is a type of green tea that has been pulverized into a powder and a good matcha should be creamy and strong in flavour.

    Matcha (Green Tea) Panna Cotta Recipe

    Every matcha powder is different so before doing a recipe, you should always try to evaluate how strong it is. You might have to play a little bit with the matcha measurement in this recipe. Try first putting 1/2 tbsp, and if it's not strong enough, put in the full 3/4 tbsp. If your matcha is not as strong, you might have to go up to a full tbsp. The Matcha we use is not a popular brand and we weren't able to find it online, but it's one that is produced in Canada. Matcha is nowadays very common and can be found in any supermarket where we live.

    It is important to let the mixture heat until it simmers while whisking constantly. This will allow the matcha powder to dilute properly and to avoid the bitter after taste. Also note that the dessert should not reach a boiling point.

    It is important to dilute the matcha powder in hot water first and to mix well. You can use a matcha whisk such as this one from matchaDNA. We usually just like to add the hot water and matcha powder into a container that can be closed so we can then shake it well until mixed. Another tip is to strain the mixture before putting it into your ramekins to avoid the residual powder.

    Well, there you are guys, another yummy matcha dessert recipe, Matcha Panna Cotta!
