Matcha is more than just hipster green tea. It’s a delicious ingredient to cook with as can be seen in “The Book of Matcha” by Teapigs. You can bake with it, cook savoury meals and it can be added to a variety of recipes due to its powder nature. This recipe for Raw Matcha Coconut Fudge can satisfy your sweet tooth and be a bit healthy as well.
Add some cocoa powder to the mix if you love chocolate, just remember to store in the fridge or freezer as coconut oil becomes liquid in a warm room.
