Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte #DairyMonth

By

Our week long celebration of #DairyMonth continues! This event is co-hosted by From Gate to Plate and Cooking With Carlee.  We are putting together our best recipes using cow milk, goat milk, butter, cream, and cheeses.  We can't wait to share them with you!

Day 2 Recipes...


My Offering...
This iced matcha green tea latte is one of my favorite sweet treats. Okay, admittedly, I don't have much of a sweet tooth. But I love making this for an easy "dessert" on a busy weeknight.


Just a quick note about Matcha. Matcha is "powdered tea." Unlike drinking other tea when you infuse the tea leaves in water and, then, strain out the leaves, with matcha, you are drinking the finely powdered leaves whisked into hot water. So, spring for the best quality of matcha that you can. There's culinary grade and ceremonial grade. I use ceremonial grade if I'm whisking and drinking; I use culinary grade for baking and cooking.

Ingredients makes 1 latte

  • 1 t matcha green tea powder
  • 1 C milk
  • 1 t honey
  • Also needed: a lidded mason jar, whisk



Procedure 
In a glass jar, place the matcha and the honey. Pour in the milk and stir with a spoon to break up the clumps as best you can. Place the lid on the jar and shake. The more you shake, the more froth will be developed.  Open the lid and give another stir to completely dissolve the matcha. You can pour the latte into another glass if you like...I prefer to have fewer glasses to wash! Enjoy.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
