made matcha shortbread (5 Ingredient fix Earl Grey Shortbread recipe) using 1 Tbsp matcha and 1 Tbsp Jasmine Blossom Green tea
Comments
These went over well, and a few people asked for the recipe. Just enough green color from the matcha – I may try it with all matcha one day. I do really like the slight crunch from the ground up tea leaves though. The jasmine was barely there – maybe a hint? I used a combo of orange, almond, and vanilla extracts b/c I thought the vanilla alone would bee too strong with the jasmine tea. Overall I think the Earl Grey/Lavender Early Grey tea cookies were my fave so far. It’s a versatile recipe — probably any 2 tbsp of tea, or tea + herbs, or even savory spices (no tea) may work in these. Black tea + dried lemon peel… spiced chai and orange extract… there are many possibilities yet to experiment with!
