Essential Kitchen Equipment
Directions
☑ Before Getting Started
Before getting started, I recommend using a Large Frying Pan with a spacious surface area. This will facilitate faster reduction times due to the large surface area.
Step 1 Whisk heavy cream, sweetener, matcha powder and butter in a large frying pan and bring to a soft boil under medium heat. Once boiling, reduce to low heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes while stirring often until thickened consistency is formed.
💡 Reduction Pro Tip
Patience is Key during the reduction process, allowing the mixture to gradually thicken to the desired consistency for optimal flavor and texture.
Step 2 Remove the matcha mixture from heat, transfer it to a holding vessel and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before using.
Pairing Recommendations
Complement your dessert or beverage selection with my homemade matcha-infused condensed milk. It pairs exceptionally well with favorites like Matcha Shaved Ice, Matcha Jelly, or a comforting Hot Matcha Latte, enhancing their flavors with a delightful matcha twist!
