Matcha butter (Dairy free)

dairy free, paleo, vegan option \

This is Matcha butter or buttercream – perfect for spreading on delicious brioche-style bread or as the icing on cakes or cupcakes. Or, you could eat it straight from the jar…I won’t tell anyone 🙂

In this picture, I made the grain+gluten-free challah by Zenbelly and it paired perfectly with the Matcha butter.

For a high quality matcha, I recommend Kenko Tea, a brand from Melbourne. Using a high quality matcha makes a world of difference to the taste without much bitterness.
