Matcha Panna CottaQuentin Bacon

Matcha, made by grinding up dried green tea leaves to a powdery consistency, has a distinct earthy, sweet flavor that carries through in this creamy panna cotta. And since you consume the leaf directly in this dessert, instead of brewing it, the antioxidant levels are even higher.

NOTE:

Matcha can be quite expensive, so it makes sense to invest in one that you like and will use often. The Republic of Tea makes one called U Matcha in various flavors. Get the "natural" one, which has the most pure, sweet green tea leaf flavor. In addition to using it in this yummy panna cotta, I like having a cup of matcha to perk up after lunch.
