Matcha Popcorn

Ceremonial green meets white chocolate - the coffee-shop trend you can make at home.

⏱ 15 min 👩‍🍳 Easy 🍽 4 servings

Earthy, slightly bitter, elegantly sweet - matcha popcorn tastes like more than its simple looks let on.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 5 oz white chocolate
  • 2 tsp matcha powder, ceremonial grade
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Pop the kernels.
  2. Gently melt the white chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave.
  3. Sift in the matcha powder and salt and stir until smooth, so no clumps form.
  4. Pour over the popcorn and mix thoroughly.
  5. Spread on parchment paper and let set for about 10 minutes.

Tips & Variations

  • Use ceremonial-grade instead of culinary-grade matcha - it's milder and less bitter.
  • A fine tea strainer is all you need to avoid clumps while stirring it in.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle with toasted white sesame seeds.

Good to Know

A sweet treat with no diet angle. Matcha naturally contains caffeine.
