Green tea. Suppose to be good for your metabolism. At the moment I've stopped taking my thyroid medicine so I'm drinking as much as I can to boost my metabolism.
I love this little fellow - one day I might suck it up and buy one of the big'uns!
I used Nelly Nero's 'Grunge It' action for a bit of a pop.
finally got some popsicle molds, which for me makes summer feel like summer.
this is made of green tea boba mix.
Lychees weren't in season, and I didn't want canned, so...
Not good idea to peel the longans too early. Garnish your tart only when ready to serve.
Point to note, this recipe is really stingy with the pastry cream. You will have just barely enough to fill your two tins, with no extra in the bowl to lick off.
Also, this recipe only utilises 1 tbsp matcha powder. Didn't see how that was going to be enough, so I doubled it and sprinkled in a bit more baking matcha powder I found in the drawer. Let me just warn you that it was NOT enough.
Serious matcha lovers might want to bring it up to as much as 6 tbsps. Or more.

Went to the Blue Walnut Café, which has its own tiny cinema attached, to get tickets for the forthcoming Manhattan Short Film Festival. It has become one of our regular family traditions to go every autumn.
The tea ceremony, although originating from a Chinese background, is still an important part of Japanese culture. Guests are served a pastry, or cake, to prepare their palette for the unsweetened green tea.
Tea is derived from the amillia sinensis bush. References to tea can be traced to Chinese folklore as early as 2737 B.C.; however, actual recorded history is found in a Chinese dictionary around 350 B.C. Green tea was introduced to Japan by a Zen Buddhist.
Tea has long been valued for its medicinal qualities; however, tea consumption was elevated to an art form by a Chinese monk in his 8th century publication, “The Classic Art of Tea.” While dozens of varieties exist, teas can be grouped into the following broad categories. White teas are made from immature leaves. Green teas are processed without fermenting which causes the tea to retain the color of its leaves. Black teas are made from fermented leaves and oolong teas are made from partially fermented leafs. Green tea contains about one-fourth the caffeine of coffee and is often used to treat insomnia.
Tea is an integral part of the Japanese culture and is reflected in the traditional tea ceremony. The Japanese Tea Ceremony displays the philosophic views of their culture which includes harmony, respect, purity and tranquility. These customs were derived from Zen Buddhist monk customs of drinking tea from a ceremonial cup. Green tea is used in the traditional ceremony.
Green tea is becoming a part of the American diet as part of a healthy lifestyle. While tea’s health benefits have been known for centuries, recent medical studies have documented green tea’s medical powers. The main antioxidant contained in green tea is ECGC. The healing chemical properties are complex and address a variety of benefits. Drinking green tea is reputed to prevent cancer, lower cholesterol, treat rheumatoid arthritis and prevent cardiovascular disease. Green tea even helps remove nicotine from the body which explains that while the Japanese are heavy tobacco users, they do not experience all the ill effects generally associated with tobacco use, such as, cardiovascular disease. Green tea came onto the US market as early as 1996 with the FDA citing limited health benefits. The drinks popularity has surged as more and more evidence has been developed to support its positive effects. Green tea is available in traditional tea bags for home brewing and is also sold in ready to consume packages. As Americans become more health conscious, the ancient Asian “medicine” becomes a mainstream drink.

An O-matcha paste and whipped cream filled cream puff $2.75, and o-matcha macaron sandwiching unctuous red bean paste $2.50
Sadly, the almond (extract) flavour overwhelmed in the macaron.

It might not look like a five-star hotel, but in 1962 it had all of the amenities of a hotel with a 5 star rating. There were friendly faces at the small guest desk, hot green tea served periodically, a sparkling ofuro, complimentary sake and a bell to ring for service. If the night developed a chill, one could call for an hibashi pot with fresh charcoal and embers, enough to last the night.
I need to look up the place that we went to. It was a strange green tea cake though because it had layers of strawberry moose in between green tea.
One of my favorite flavor combinations tastes amazing as a popsicle! Matcha and fresh strawberries!
The seemingly plain matcha pops actually have a strawberry filling!
