Green tea mug cake

Matcha (or maccha) is the finely powdered green tea used in Japan's cherished tea ceremony. It is also commonly used as a flavouring in a number of food preparations, including noodles, ice cream, and confectionery. The tea is bitter, and during the tea ceremony it is consumed with a small wagashi sweet. Here, the effect is simulated by turning the tea itself into a sweet.
