Matcha Nama Caramel — A Melt-in-Your-Mouth Tea Sweet
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.
The richness of cream,
the warm sweetness of caramel,
and the subtle bitterness of matcha
come together to create depth and balance.
It is not simply sweet—
but carries a calm, refined character.
When paired with tea,
each enhances the other,
leaving a quiet, lasting finish.
| Ingredients (makes about 20 pieces, 2cm cubes)
Heavy cream (35% fat or higher): 100 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
Variations
