Matcha Nama Caramel — A Melt-in-Your-Mouth Tea Sweet

March 5, 2026

Hello everyone 😊
This is Keko from the online team.

A small bite to accompany your tea—
one that melts gently the moment it touches your tongue, releasing the soft aroma of matcha.

Wouldn’t it be lovely to have such a quiet indulgence?

Today, we introduce “Matcha Nama Caramel,” where the gentle bitterness of matcha meets the richness of milk.

The deep aroma of fresh cream and butter blends beautifully with the layered flavor of matcha, creating a satisfying treat in just one small piece.

Cut into bite-sized cubes and chilled, they are perfect for serving with tea, as well as a small gift to share.

The charm of this sweet lies in its smooth texture and the lingering notes of matcha.

Ingredients (makes about 20 pieces, 2cm cubes)

Heavy cream (35% fat or higher): 100 ml
Granulated sugar: 80 g
Honey (or glucose syrup): 20 g
Unsalted butter: 20 g
Matcha (Matcha Premium): 1.5 tsp (about 3 g)
Water: 20 ml

Instructions

1. Preparation
Line a tray with parchment paper.
Dissolve the matcha with a small portion of the cream to make a smooth paste.

2. Make the caramel
In a saucepan, combine sugar, honey, and water.
Heat over medium heat until dissolved, then increase heat slightly.
Swirl the pan gently and cook until it reaches a light caramel color.

3. Add cream and matcha
Reduce heat and slowly add the warmed cream.
Then add the matcha paste and stir.
Cook for about 5–7 minutes until the mixture thickens.

4. Finish
Remove from heat and add butter.
Stir until melted and glossy.
Pour into the prepared tray and smooth the surface.

5. Chill and cut
Let it cool, then refrigerate for 2–3 hours.
Once firm, remove from the tray and cut into cubes using a warmed knife.

Tips

Dissolve matcha in cream first to avoid lumps
Be careful not to overcook, or it may become too firm
Warm the knife before cutting for clean edges
Store in the refrigerator, especially in humid conditions
