I apologize for the lack of tea tasting for the past week. I've had a horrid head cold and my sense of taste is completely off.
Trying to soothe my itchy, scratchy throat, I cracked open a package of Bali's Best Green Tea Latte candies that I was given for the holidays. (http://www.fusiongourmet.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1_4). They're very interesting and could easily become addictive. They remind me a lot of green tea ice cream. And I love green tea ice cream (which is unexpected, given that I hate milk in tea). The slightly bitter herbal taste combined with the smooth creamy texture is unlike anything else.
Green tea ice cream is something I used to find only in Asian restaurants or small specialty ice cream stores. However, Hagen-Daaz now sells green tea ice cream (http://www.haagendazs.com/Products/Product/2781). It can be found in most of the middle- to high-end grocery stores around me.
I've found a couple of recipes for cooking with tea as an ingredient. Bromley's website has some interesting ideas that I intend to try: http://www.bromleytea.com/recipes.html
If anyone else attempts any of these recipes, please let me know so I can share it with the group!
