Sure, why not! I did a post not too long ago on “Can you cook with matcha?” and you can. If you look out there for recipes with matcha, there is a lot of baked goods and desserts that incorporate matcha in some way. The recipes and results are delicious! But how many baked goods and desserts can one person eat? While you’re thinking about that, I’ve been thinking about other ways to use tea in recipes besides desserts. My post on “Can tea be used in skin care products?” included some recipes for bath bombs, scrubs and body butters that included green tea and/or matcha. But I’ve been thinking more about how to incorporate tea into regular meals and dishes.

Last week we were found out what is chai? This week we want to do something more with chai than just drink it, which is a wonderful way to experience chai! In any case, below is a brownie recipe that I modified to make a “chai” brownier recipe. I love it. In the recipe where is says 1/2c chai, I used a 1/2 c of the raw chai blend mix. Something I should have done before just using the chai blend is to take out any cardamom pods or shells. Something I may try in the future is to keep in 1/2c cocoa powder and instead of the greek yogurt perhaps use chai brewed with milk itself. Lots of ways to play around with the recipe. But this is just one attempt. Hope you enjoy it!

I’m not a huge fan of pizza crusts or bread but every now and then I really want a good piece of pizza. I had heard of cauliflower pizza crusts and had heard about how much work it takes to make. I like sweet potatoes and came across a sweet potato pizza crust recipe and thought I’d give it a try.

Yes you can cook with matcha. It has become very popular in the West to use matcha in other forms besides in it’s traditional form as a tea. Matcha is used in desserts, drinks and more. I love baking and making snacks and treats and sharing them. I have been trying different matcha recipes and modifying other recipes to incorporate matcha and a matcha version. Below are a few recipes and ways of using matcha that I have tried. In the references there are sites and resources with many more recipes using matcha.

How do you make iced tea?

When you hear someone speak of tea you normally think of the hot drink and that hot drink comes in the form of bags or leaves. In the warmer season we don’t reach for a cup of hot tea. It’s more cool drinks, such as lemonade, soft drinks, iced coffee and iced tea. But when we think of iced tea, we don’t immediately think of tea bags, loose leaf tea, tea infusers and all the other fun accessories we associate with hot tea. We think of, iced tea, a golden coloured sugary drink in a glass pitcher with ice cubes floating in it and maybe some lemons or other things floating around that look summery. But how does that golden coloured drink get into the picture? Well, first it doesn’t always have to be sugary, nor does it always have to have summery things floating around in it. Nothing has to float in it. I came across three different ways to make iced tea.
