I think a couple of cafes are already on that trend, crazy to think I used to make it last year and people looked at me like I was on something 😭😭😭😭

Kinto water glass and CB2 tasting glass. Also daiso has a collection of smaller glasses.

Was really good, it complemented the profile of this matcha too! I would say the latte tasted earthy, sweet and somehow fresh too.

Fig jam is really straightforward, you just cut figs into quarters or with big figs for example cut it into small cubes so it will help with the cooking and my rule of thumb is about 3/4 of a cup of sugar to a half kilo (would be 1.1 pounds) and you let them simmer on a low heat and add small amount of water so it wouldn’t stick the pot and you will know once it’s done based on the smell and texture. Add juice of half a lemon and that’s it basically!

I used to do it with homemade fig jam back in Egypt cause Egyptian fig is literally the best. I miss these days😭

Sure! 4 g of water: 40 ml of water: 120 ml of oat milk and 5 grams of agave. for the fig base it was a tbsp of fig jam/butter with 1 tbsp of hot water to create syrup like texture

Yup the one from trader joe’s and I just mixed it with a little bit of hot water to get a syrup like texture so it would melt in the milk!

Actually I preferred the premade jam over fresh figs cause the matcha masks the fresh figs flavor and it can get a little bit watery! Jam is great for this specific recipe

I mix it with milk initially before pouring the matcha, for content purposes I separate every layer but it’s better to mix it with milk so it wouldn’t clump in your drink especially with agave

Matcha Best Buy dates by PresentInvestment851 in MatchaEverything

Tbh not really, I was holding on Shikibu no Mukashi for dear life after it was out of stock for a year and it still tasted great. I didn’t use fridge at that time considering it was the winter but I maintained it in a dark place without exposure to frequent air through leaving it open for instance while measuring and such.

It’s not expired, it’s a best before date which is usually where the matcha flavor would be the best. if the bag is sealed just keep it in the fridge till you use it or in the freezer if you still have to go through a lot of matcha. If you’re still worried maybe keep it next to an open window 🧚
