Matcha, a Japanese green tea powder that is steeped in tradition, has become the new secret ingredient in trendy culinary creations. Alexis Siemons, tea consultant, writer and founder of teaspoons & petals, is making a return visit to COOK on Sunday, September 18 at 1 p.m. to teach you everything you need to know about the vibrant green tea.
The afternoon will start off with a sparkling matcha lemonade cocktail. Then guests will learn how to craft a ceremonial bowl of matcha, shake matcha into fresh juice shots as well as learn how to make an iced mint matcha coconut latte.
Listen to the story behind matcha tea while learning matcha tips and pairing techniques. Beyond the sips, Alexis will also demo and sample recipes for matcha krispie bites, savory matcha goat cheese and citrus crostini and mini matcha custard pies. Guests will take matcha samples home, too!
The cost for this delicious and informative session is $70. Reserve your spot through COOK’s website soon as this event will surely sell out.
