This rice pudding is best made with matcha for its strong unique flavor and incredible color. Matcha is a type of green tea that comes as a green powder. It is knowns for its high antioxidant properties. If you can’t find matcha or don’t want to splurge, simply brew any green tea in a high concentration and use the same way in this recipe.
Once you have matcha in the house you can use it to flavor other recipes, but it is also amazing and easy to use as it was originally intended, as tea. Just mix a teaspoon with 1 cup boiling water and stir well to enjoy your cup.
