About

Green tea is one of the most popular Japanese flavours – with red bean in close competition for the number one spot. The green tea powder – or matcha – gives these madeleines the most beautiful but subtle green hue. Enhance the greenness even more, if you like, with a wonderful dusting of matcha and icing (confectioners’) sugar before you serve them alongside a scoop of Red bean ice cream.
