Matcha Recipes: Drinks, Desserts, Cakes

Have matcha at home and want to make something other than a bowl of tea? Our matcha recipes range from drinks and desserts to breakfasts and savory dishes. Choose what you'd like to put on the table.

To discover the tea’s flavor in a recipe, we would start with a drink. You can adjust the milk or temperature and taste the difference from the first sip. For a salad that needs dressing, a matcha vinaigrette emulsifies in five minutes; on warm vegetables, small pats of matcha compound butter melt.

What can you make with matcha? Follow your appetite

• Start with matcha drink recipes, depending on whether you want a hot or cold cup. You'll find lattes alongside lighter preparations.
• Save matcha desserts for a sweet finish to a meal. This collection reaches beyond cakes.
• Mochi, soft rice confections, and zenzai, a warm azuki bean dessert with mochi, are among Japanese matcha desserts.
• Bowls and other dishes make up matcha breakfast recipes.
• If you feel like turning on the oven, choose from matcha baking recipes.
• Savory matcha recipes give the tea a place beyond drinks and desserts.
• If you have hojicha, roasted Japanese green tea, or genmaicha, green tea blended with roasted rice, Japanese tea recipes take your cooking beyond matcha.

Would you rather taste a pastry that's ready to enjoy? The Atelier Kura-ge offers its pastries for takeout. To taste the tea on its own, start by tasting matcha with water.
