    Are you interested in creating unique, healthy and flavorful entrees, deserts and beverages? We’ve scoured the culinary world to bring you some of the best green tea powder recipes.

    As a general guideline, just about any desert recipe that calls for cocoa powder can be substituted with an equal to 2/3 amount of green tea powder. So go out there and explore the gastronomic possibilities! You’ll be pleasantly surprised with what you can come up with.

    Green Tea Cupcakes

    Here’s a little tip… Want to dress up your green tea desert? Create a stencil and dust green tea powder under or over your desert to instantly elevate the presentation of your creation. Also, most green tea deserts look and taste great when garnished with a few pieces of candied ginger or dried sweetened berries or mint sprigs.

    Common food pairings with green tea are: seafood, poultry, salads and most fleshy fruits. Common ingredient compatibility with green tea powder in recipes are: lemon, honey, ginger, rice, cream, fish, chicken and sesame (but not all at the same time!). Typically, green tea powder can be used to balance out food that is high in sodium or sweetness while complementing delicate natural flavors.

    Dash of cayenne pepper to taste
