So, on a whim, I ordered some matcha powder from Amazon a while back. Now, I have a very small, very expensive tin of green powder in my cabinet and no idea what to do with it. What do you guys do with matcha powder, exactly?

    I like to mix a bit of it into plain greek yogurt and top that with blueberries. I also like to put it into smoothies with vanilla protein powder and fruit/vegetables. I know some people bake with it but I've never tried it.

    There should be directions for making tea on the container, yes? Or in the listing?

    Ex: https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Matcha-Green-Tea-Powder/dp/B00DDT116M

    Directions

    Dissolve 1/2 to 1 tsp in boiling water and whisk to create the perfect cup of matcha. Add as required to lattes, smoothies, or any other recipe

    1 Frozen banana
    1 Cup almond milk
    2 Leaves of kale, stems removed

    ½ tsp. Grated ginger
    1 Handful of ice

    Matcha Latte

    I make tea with it and I cook with it. I don't pretend to think that it has any effects on my health and fitness mind you, but I do like the taste of matcha.

    I tried so many times to like it. I really don't get the appeal. It tastes like dirt to me.

    I mix it with cold water, squeeze a lemon or lime wedge in it, add 3 ice cubes, and drink it with my oatmeal and coffee every day.
