Green Tea Frappuccino
.
here’s another you can try at home similar to big coffee chains. They use melon syrup, this recipe uses vanilla…I think this tastes more like green tea is supposed to.
Ingredients
# 1/2 teaspoon green tea powder (matcha)
# 2 ounces hot water
# 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla syrup or sugar, to taste
# 4 ounces milk
# ice
Directions
Dissolve green tea in hot water.
add milk and syrup.
blend with a handfull or so of ice cubes.
top with whipped cream if desired.
Make this, because the picture’s so pretty!
I’ve bought green tea to make this, but haven’t gotten around to it yet…
Oh, and I’ve seen a couple recipes for green tea tiramisu and cake on various blogs. Pretty pictures, pretty pictures…

*How to Brew a Cup of Green Tea:-
Producing the perfect cup of green tea is a tricky process. If not handled properly, those same polyphenols that provide health benefits can ruin the flavor, making the tea taste “gassy.” It’s particularly important not to overbrew. While it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each variety of green tea, here are some general
instructions:
Use one tea bag, or 2 – 4 grams of tea,* per cup.
Fill a kettle with cold water and bring to a boil.
After unplugging the kettle, allow it to stand for up to 3 minutes.
Pour the heated water over the tea bag or tea, and allow it to steep for up to 3 minutes. If using a tea bag, remove the bag.
Allow the tea to cool for three more minutes.
*One to two teaspoons, depending on the variety of green tea you are brewing.
