Many people may think that sipping warm tea in the morning is perfect, but in fact, morning is when the stomach is empty. If we drink green tea, it will stimulate stomach acid, which may cause stomach ulcers. In addition, the caffeine in green tea will stimulate the body to excrete water, which may make us feel dehydrated, slow-witted, and not refreshed. It is best to eat breakfast first and then follow with a cup of green tea. Or if you really want to drink green tea, try mixing it in soup, yogurt, or other menus that are suitable for breakfast. This will make a delicious breakfast in the style of matcha lovers. It will also add a breakfast menu to your cafe.

Let’s start with a light, easy, and healthy menu, Matcha Yogurt. Many people forget that green tea can be eaten with yogurt.

Simply mix 300g of plain yogurt with 1 tbsp of matcha powder and 2 tsp of maple syrup. Mix well and top with kiwi, peach, blueberry, apple or other fruits of your choice.

But if you don’t like yogurt, we recommend a Matcha Breakfast Bowl that is rich in nutrients. Mix 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of almond milk, macadamia milk, or cow’s milk, whichever you prefer, and 2 teaspoons of matcha powder. Blend together. You can add a little honey to increase the sweetness as you like. Or if you want to add texture, you can blend avocado together. After blending, you can store it in the refrigerator for 1 week. Decorate with fresh strawberries and sliced almonds as you like.

Another light breakfast menu in European style is Matcha Pancake with gluten-free flour recipe, suitable for those who are allergic to wheat flour. It takes only 12 minutes to make, suitable for those who are in a rush in the morning. Start by mixing 2 eggs with ⅔ cup almond milk + ¼ cup melted coconut oil with cane sugar and vanilla extract. Mix well. Sift 1 cup gluten-free flour + 2 tablespoons matcha powder + 1 tablespoon baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Then, heat a pan over medium heat, add coconut oil. When the pan is hot, add the prepared ingredients in the desired size. When it starts to cook, flip it over until it is golden brown and cooked evenly on both sides. Serve with honey and fresh fruit as desired. An easy and filling breakfast ^^

Add sweetness to your breakfast easily with another menu for those who love sweets, Matcha Sugar Toast that uses only 3 ingredients and can be finished easily in 5 minutes by taking ¼ teaspoon of green tea powder and mixing it with 2 tablespoons of salted butter that is room temperature and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Mix well and spread it on bread, then bake the bread in the oven until crispy and the color is beautiful according to your preference. Recommended temperature 175 degrees for 2-5 minutes.

Add another level of deliciousness with Matcha cashew Butter on Toast , a vegan menu that is easy to make, filling and delicious for breakfast. It can also be eaten with pancakes, waffles or scones for another delicious taste. Just mix 2 cups of chopped toasted cashew nuts with 3 teaspoons of matcha powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup and 3 teaspoons of coconut oil. Blend in a food processor until smooth and it’s done. Serve with bananas, sprinkle with chopped cashew nuts and a little cinnamon powder for even more deliciousness.

Finally , Matcha Soup Tofu. Start by melting ½ cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shiitake mushrooms and green onions. Add 2 tablespoons of matcha powder. Add about 8 cups of chicken stock, 1 cup of cream, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 1 cup of spinach. Simmer until combined. Stir for about 10 minutes. Serve with grilled tofu in a pan until cooked.

If anyone still doesn’t know how to start making breakfast at home, you can try following this recipe. You will get a delicious breakfast menu like eating at a restaurant.

Have you ever wondered if chocolate has an expiration date? Why does it last longer than other snacks?

Chocolate is a long-lasting dessert. Cocoa butter is used to keep this brown dessert for years, simply by keeping it refrigerated. Cocoa butter is also used in skin and face lotions, ensuring it can last for years. Cocoa butter isn’t the only good thing, it also has the unique property of being able to solidify at the right temperature and melt at body temperature, around 34 degrees Celsius or higher. This is why chocolate melts in your mouth.

Due to the long shelf life, sometimes white spots may appear on the surface of the chocolate. However, this is just melted fat that has adhered to the surface of the chocolate, and is not mold.

Due to its special characteristics, chocolate can be stored for a long time, making it an ideal snack for transforming ingredients that may have been overstocked in stores and unable to be sold quickly enough. It also adds value to existing ingredients, turning them into new, more appealing snacks, using green tea chocolate.

Two-tone Matcha Chocolate – A simple two-tone matcha chocolate recipe in bite-sized pieces.

Melt 100g cocoa butter and gradually add 1 tablespoon of honey while the chocolate is still warm.
Remove from heat and divide into two portions. Add 1 teaspoon of matcha powder, a pinch of salt, and vanilla extract to the first portion. Mix until well combined.
Pour into a mold of the desired size and shape and freeze for 10 minutes.
For the remaining chocolate, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, mix well, then pour into the mold in step 3 that has set. Then put it in the freezer again. It’s done.

Another popular chocolate menu among Japanese people is Matcha Nama Chocolate. Melt 200 grams of white chocolate until almost completely melted. Add 12 grams of matcha powder ( and 2 grams of sakura powder to get a little sakura flavor and scent) + 20 grams of unsalted butter + 70 grams of whipping cream. Mix well and pour into a mold lined with baking paper. Refrigerate for 4-5 hours until it starts to set. Remove and cut into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle a little green tea powder on top and decorate with small pieces of dried raspberries or stick sakura flowers on top to match the festival.

Strawberry Matcha Chocolate Bark Brightly colored green tea chocolate with dried strawberries and white chocolate. How to make:

Melt 280g of white chocolate and divide it into a small bowl. Take ⅓ of the mixture and add the remaining 1 teaspoon of matcha powder. Mix well. Try to stir quickly while the chocolate is still warm to help the matcha powder dissolve more easily.
Pour the chocolate onto the baking paper and use a chopstick or scraper to spread it evenly over the entire sheet.
Pour the reserved white chocolate in small amounts onto the green tea chocolate from step 2. Use a toothpick to swirl it around to create a pattern on the chocolate as shown in the picture.
Sprinkle with dried fruits such as strawberries and raspberries. Sprinkle with a little salt to cut the taste. Freeze for 15 minutes.
Once it’s hardened, remove it from the wax paper and cut it into squares or triangles as desired. Pack it in a clear package to show the pattern. You can also sell it as a Grab & Go product at the cashier in front of the store.

Matcha chocolate bark can also be topped with black sesame seeds, pistachios, genmaicha, or even dark chocolate instead of white chocolate. With matcha powder and chocolate as the main ingredients, it can be transformed into a variety of recipes.

Another recipe that will help you manage leftover ingredients like cakes is to make Matcha Chocolate Balls . Take leftover cake, such as butter cake or chiffon cake, or any excess cake from the edges of the cake when cutting it. Mix them with melted chocolate and blend them into balls. Dip them in chocolate and coat them again. Place on a stick and set aside. Sprinkle with a little matcha powder and decorate. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks without discarding the excess cake.

If you like something special, you can add chopped cashew nuts and chopped almonds when forming the balls.

Next, you’ll avoid the problem of having too many ingredients that expire unexpectedly when you know how to extend the shelf life of your ingredients by making chocolate. And if you know how to properly store each ingredient, you’ll be able to extend the shelf life of your food and keep it tasting as good as the day you bought it.
