Matcha-dipped Strawberries + Matcha Dalgona-Style ماتشاااا

Matcha is made by taking young tea leaves that spent time growing under the shade and grinding them up into a bright green powder. It’s different from green tea, where the leaves are infused in water and then removed.
That’s what special about matcha, you drink the whole leaves as the powder melts wherever it’s added. You get the entire benefit of the leaf as you ingest it whole.
Do you hate matcha?
It isn’t your fault, it’s the matchas fault!
Maybe you tried a matcha that wasn’t grown properly (not enough shade, they didn’t clean the leaves properly) or stored properly (it’s all yellow and dry and not bright green) or had someone prepare it for you the incorrect way, like using very hot water which completely destroys the delicate leaves, burns them, and makes them bitter! The ideal temperature for matcha is 79°C (175°F) and below!
Matcha is actually supposed to taste delicate and good! So if you’ve tasted a matcha that’s bitter, start with getting a GOOD brand of matcha and preparing it the correct and gentle way! 💚

Hello and welcome to my Kitchen Diary, I’m Yasmeen! :) This page is dedicated to my passion: cooking.
Food is a universal language that everyone speaks. Come with me to a journey of tastes, flavors, aromas, and cuisines. Where we roast, bake, fry, steam, spice, sauté, and do whatever our heart desires, and whatever our tongues crave.
Let’s adventure together into a culinary world of learning, growth, and errors. Where we indulge into the world of the savory and sweet, and express ourselves with the language of herbs, sugar, and spices: the sincerest expression of love.

السلام عليكم و أهلا وسهلا في صفحتي، مذكرات مطبخي، أنا ياسمين. :) صفحتي مخصصة لشغفي: الطهي.
الأكل لغة يفهمها و يتكلمها الجميع.
تعالوا معي في رحلة من الأذواق والنكهات والروائح والمأكولات. حيث نحمص، ونخبز، ونقلى، ونفعل كل ما يريده قلوبنا، وأي شيء تشتهي إليه ألسنتنا.
لنغامر معاً في عالم الطهي كي نتعلم و ننموا ونخطىء سوياً، و نعيش في عالم المالح والحلو، ونعبّر عن أنفسنا بلغة الأعشاب والسكر والتوابل؛ و هو أصدق و أخلص تعبير عن الحب.
