Baking with Matcha: A Guide to Using This Delicious Japanese Ingredient

Matcha is a type of green tea that is made from finely ground tea leaves. It is a popular ingredient in Japanese cuisine, and it is also becoming increasingly popular in Western baking. Matcha has a unique flavor that is both bitter and sweet, and it gives baked goods a vibrant green color.
