It has natural tea fragrance and contains rich nutrients in fresh tea. People eating matcha can refresh their minds, relieve fatigue and speed up metabolism, but many people don't know what matcha is.
1. What is matcha?
Matcha is a unique food, specifically, it should be a food ingredient. It is made of natural tea. People collect fresh tea leaves every spring, steam them into round products and keep them. Before using matcha, they need to bake tea cakes with fire and then grind them into powder with a natural stone mill. The green powder obtained at this time is matcha. High-quality matcha powder is dark green or dark green, which will have the salty taste of grass and seaweed, but it is not astringent and slightly bitter, while those directly ground with green tea do not have this characteristic, so matcha powder is not equal to green tea powder, which we should distinguish.
Second, matcha cake
Matcha can be used to make cakes. When making a cake with matcha, you need to prepare matcha powder, milk, flour, baking powder, eggs, sugar and so on. Separate the egg white from the yolk, add white sugar to the egg white and beat well with an egg beater. Mix flour, baking powder and matcha powder evenly, add milk, add egg yolk and flour into the broken egg white, stir well, and then pour the batter into the cake mold.
Third, matcha pudding
Matcha can also be used to make pudding. When making, you need to prepare two eggs, 40 grams of sugar and a bag of milk, as well as a proper amount of matcha powder and 50 grams of whipped cream. Adding sugar to two eggs, adding milk and whipped cream, then adding matcha powder, mixing, filtering, adding gelatin tablets to the obtained liquid, and heating and curing to obtain the home version of matcha pudding.
Matcha powder usually exists as seasoning or ingredient, so it is necessary to control the dosage when making various foods. Adding too much will affect the original flavor of the food, which is not conducive to the display of the aroma and taste of matcha.
