Madeleine de Proust?

    And this is today's breakfast.

    The memories what awaken weren't about my childhood, maybe it because the tea was wrong.

    Here is a clever idea for making Matcha Late without special tool = a bamboo whipper. Try it when you found Matcha tea powder :-)
    Thank you Ms cava_cavien :-) :-) :-)

      I'm doing green tea .. but it's not similar to that...

      Lipton green tea mayby it's different??

      I haven't had green tea in a long time.
      This looks so good!

      > kmr2069,
      Hello, thank you for leaving here a sweet comment :-)

      The tea leaf is maybe same but green tea which I had was Matcha/Maccha, it is powder of green tea. We have special bamboo tea whipper, mix the powder & hot water by the whipper.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maccha
      I added foramed milk onto the Matcha tea the morning, like cappuccino, it's yummy :-)

      Thank you!
      OK, I'll bring green tea for you when I visit Hawaii next time :-D

      And thank you for everyone who added this picture on to the favourite list.
      Seems I made a mistake. My friend kindly taught me it that I should have shown the top of madeleine when serving it, this is oppsite. Sorry, please overlook my mistake because I'm Japanese who doesn't know French manners well ;-)

      Beautiful composition and title. Well, this green beverage looks weird is it really tea?

    9. tizianoj (65 months ago | reply)

      Wow, that's fantastic! I've seen a few Madeleine, but never with Maccha and a tatami background! Really an interesting shot!

      >SuperKarmen
      Hola! Thank you for leaving kindly comment from Spain!!

      > !@Elipsis@!
      In fact, I tried reading it again and again but gave up ;-).
      Too complicated for me...

      >lilivanderhulst
      Hello! Thank you for kindly comment :-)
      The green is colour of tea leaf, so the taste is a bit bitter but it's common in Japan. We love useing it as flavour for icecream, cake or chocolate etc...
      like this,
      Matcha Tea & Milk Softicecream
      or this,
      St.Honore Matcha
      or this.
      Must have!

      > tizianoj
      Thank you! I brought back many sweets with me, and have & had it in my room where has tatami, I found it so fuuny, pretty French sweets looked being at loss. So I prepar green tea for them ;-)

      >princess_of_llyr

      Don't worry even though you don't have a bamboo whipper.
      Here is a clever idea for making Matcha Late without it.
      If you have Matcha (green) tea powder, try Matcha Late with this way!

      Thank you cava_cavien for allowing me to introduce your nice idea :-)

      I am instantly jealous, that looks so tasty! Nice foam on the tea BTW I can never get it to do that!

    16. Greedy Piglet (48 months ago | reply)

      Hello Nick Mantheakis.
      Thank you! Now I enjoy making green tea flavoured Madeleine sometime, it's also good to have it with Japanese tea :-))))

      I don't know the correct rule of 茶道 but always keep 抹茶 powder in my freezer and enjoy it anytime I want it!
