If you follow the latest pastry trends in Paris, you can't miss the powdery green flakes seen in the vitrines of almost every famous patisserie. Little operas dressed up in green and white, macarons with a soft green center and pale green sables dipped in sparkling white sugar.
“Matcha, pronounced as maht- cha, is a kind of powdered green tea used in the Japanese Tea Ceremony. All authentic Matcha only comes from Japan’’ says Amit Mehta, India’s first Tea Sommelier.
I was first introduced to Matcha during my internship in Paris . My chef (like most French chefs I know) had a liking for all things Japanese. We were across the street from a Patisserie called Sadaharu Aoki (highly recommend!). This shop had the most mesmerizing spread of French style- Japanese flavored pastry. Whenever we had any occassion to celebrate we always got dessert from Aoki.
A lot of people are addicted to drinking green tea (including me) and since I love experimenting with flavors, I asked Amit to help me understand how to work with matcha and to give you a recipe to try at home.
Notes on Matcha by Amit Mehta
• Matcha dissolves in water completely when well mixed and is the very reason for being adapted in a lot of dishes.
• From Matcha Latte, Matcha Shots, Matcha Tiramisu and Matcha Cookies it has become a popular ingredient in savory dishes, desserts, ice creams and smoothies
• It gives a nutty, vegetal and sweet note without being bitter.
• While choosing a Matcha as an ingredient for your recipe, it is important to note that a lighter green matcha is on the sweeter side and the darker ones are more astringent. Choose one depending on what you’re baking.
• It is the healthiest of all green teas; since the leaf is consumed in its entirety it has more nutrients and vitamins.
• The full benefits of Matcha tea extend beyond the body. The mental benefits of drinking Matcha have been long associated with Zen (…so matcha mixed with chocolate would send me to heaven :p)
