Teahouse Matcha Popsicles
Need a little refreshing pick-me-up? These pretty, bright green matcha popsicles deliver in the easiest way possible—once frozen you can grab and go anytime. These cold treats are creamy and not too sweet thanks to coconut milk, a couple of dates and a just-ripe banana. Because the banana isn’t overly ripe it’s flavor does’t overpower the delicate grassy notes of the ceremonial grade matcha. Be ready to make another batch as they have a habit of disappearing from the freezer fast!
