additional notes: oh. I really need to be working on this one. I had a craving of adding some matcha to some vanilla ice cream as “sprinkles” so I did. The first mouthful was pretty flavorful (mostly bitter) but then the subsequent mouthfuls seemed to mostly taste like vanilla ice cream. That was weird. Maybe the age affected the flavor… I also wanted to try adding matcha to a vanilla fast food milkshake. Maybe one day.

I’ve done that before when out of green tea ice cream. I wait until the ice cream is pretty soft, then stir the matcha in throughout the ice cream in the dish.

Oh I should try this! I have some extra cooking matcha, so over the last few weeks, I made matcha cookies, cheesecake, and overnight oats, and that still didn’t use it up!

tea-sipper

Yeah, I should probably start vastly cooking with this stuff, haha

Ooh, what a fun idea!
@AJRimmer – I don’t suppose you’d share the recipe for those matcha cookies, would you?

I think this is the one I used! They tasted best the first day – somehow something changed in the flavor after that, not sure why.

Thank you!!

I’ve been on a matcha kick lately and although I haven’t tried it with ice cream (except at a Japanese restaurant, I may order it as a dessert hehe). I do love matcha with oatmeal milk. It is one of my favorite ways to go through matcha when I know it’s coming up on expiration date.

I’m sure the Japanese restaurant dessert is better than my concoction. haha. I will have to try matcha with oatmeal milk sometime.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
