Choosing the right matcha

When making a matcha latte, baking with matcha, or making popsicles, like these, the type of matcha you use matters.

Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality matcha powder, made from the youngest tea leaves. It has a naturally sweet and delicate flavor and is best for drinking straight, whisked with hot water.

Culinary-grade matcha is slightly more robust and has a stronger flavor, making it perfect for recipes where matcha is combined with other ingredients- like in baking.

For these popsicles, we recommend using culinary-grade matcha. Its bolder flavor shines through the milk and strawberries, so you can actually taste the tea powder, without overpowering the other flavors.

Tips for the perfect popsicles

  • For a marbled look, gently swirl the strawberry puree with the matcha latte mixture in each mold before freezing.

  • Use a popsicle mold with silicone sides for easier removal.

  • Sift your matcha before whisking for the smoothest texture.

  • Taste before freezing. Feel free to add more sweetener if you need.
