Matcha's high antioxidant levels can have so many positive effects to your health like: Stronger immunity system, glowing skin and many more. So I try to have a cup of matcha everyday, but sometimes I find matcha flavours rather basic. And drinking plain matcha with leafy notes can become a bit boring. Therefore, to keep my palate vibrant I come up with new recipes. And this week I came up with- Matcha Affogato.
Affogato is an Italian dessert, traditionally made using hot espresso, In my recipe I switched Coffee with Matcha, result was pretty great and worth a try!!
Ingredients:
1 tbsp Ceremonial Matcha.
½ cup lukewarm water (80°C).
1 scoop Vanilla Ice Cream.
Chocolate shavings.
Instructions:
Step 1: Steep Matcha!!
I steeped a cup of Cocoa Matcha from Tea trunk, I really like this flavour and it went well with the recipes. Tea trunk's Matchas are quite great and you can find different flavours like- mint and charcoal flavours as well. You can use any matcha of your choice. I whisked 1 tbsp of Matcha in 80°C water thoroughly. Whisking can take a while and is tiresome but the process is worth it for a nice cup of matcha.
Step 2: Ice Cream time!!
After all that whisking now your hands must be tired, so the next step is gonna be super easy, Fill your cup with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, you can have cheesecake instead of Icecream if you like. You can treat yourself with topping of chocolate shavings.
Step 3: Pour Hot matcha
Pour hot matcha over Icecream and Voila! Enjoy your time with this wonderful Italian dessert!!!
I hope you enjoy trying this recipe. Tune in with me on this series where you will find new and unique ways to have your next cup of tea. Till then have fun and See you soon !!!
