Cool off with refreshing matcha recipes
Uji Kintoki shaved ice,
Moto-an style
This popular summer-only refresher is served at the Moto-an tea house operated by Marukyu Koyama-en. The matcha syrup tastes light and pure; poured over ice, it makes a bracing dessert that will help you beat the summer heat.
(Makes 2 to 3 servings)
1 Chill serving bowls in refrigerator. Sift 2½ Tbsp matcha powder and 100 g sugar together in a bowl. Gradually add 100 ml ice water, whisking until sugar dissolves. Cover syrup airtight and chill in refrigerator.
2 Use an ice-shaving machine to fill each serving bowl with a fluffy mound.
3 Add red-bean paste as desired, and top with a generous amount of matcha syrup. Add condensed milk if desired.
