Probiotic green tea & cherry yoghurt bowl

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Starters
East meets West in a glass. The deep, grassy, slightly bitter notes of Japanese matcha (powdered green tea) create a sophisticated contrast with the sweet, juicy cherries. The green tea gives the yoghurt not only flavour but also a beautiful pastel green colour, which is visually stunning against the deep burgundy of the cherries. This recipe is for those who appreciate 'zen' moments in their meals.

  • Mixing bowl
  • Pitter or knife

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash and pit the cherries, then cut them into quarters. Set a few aside for garnish.

Tip: A cherry pitter keeps the fruit looking nicer, but cutting with a knife makes it easier to check for any missed pit fragments.
2 ✓

Take 2 tablespoons of yoghurt into a small bowl, add the sifted matcha powder and honey, then mix into a smooth, lump-free paste.

Tip: With this method (pre-dissolving), you avoid the powder floating on top of the yoghurt or staying lumpy.
3 ✓

Stir the green paste back into the rest of the yoghurt until you get a uniform pale green colour.

Tip: Use a whisk for a airier texture.
4 ✓

Fold in the cherry pieces.

Tip: The acidity of the fruit and the bitterness of the tea create a well-rounded whole with the honey.
5 ✓

Refrigerate for 15 minutes to let the matcha flavour bloom (hydrate), then serve with the reserved cherries.

Tip: The green tea flavour strengthens over time, so it is mildest when fresh.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the matcha lumpy?
Matcha powder tends to clump. Always sift it or mix it with a tiny bit of yoghurt into a thick paste first.
What matcha should I buy?
Culinary/baking grade matcha is perfect for this, you don't need the most expensive ceremonial quality.
