Honey Green Tea Muffins

The first time I had green tea ice cream was the first time I had green-tea-flavored anything, and I loved it! Subtle in sweetness, and a natural eye-pleaser with its color, I would order it for dessert every time I went out for Japanese. Then, I later came across green tea macaroons at Cha-an; and that’s when it actually occurred to me–you can green tea-ify anything! The secret is getting your hands on matcha green tea powder.  I get it from my local Asian grocery store. It’s now a staple ingredient in my house.  You can add it to cake batter, bread dough, cookie dough, and even eggs and ham! Experiment with it.

I make this muffin recipe a lot for friends, dinner parties, and for myself to snack on. It’s quick and easy, and it always seems to impress with its fancy looks.
