Dec 12 Matcha Tea Bark

Ingredients

• 10 oz (300 g) white chocolate
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) matcha tea powder
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) dried organic figs
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) candied orange peel
• 1 1/2 tbsp (22 mL) dried organic craisins
• 1 1/2 tbsp (22 mL) whole pistachios
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) whole toasted almonds

Directions

Melt white chocolate to 90 F (30 C) and hold at that temperature. Blend pure refined matcha tea powder into the white chocolate and remove from heat. When slightly cooled, fill a piping bag with chocolate mixture and make circles roughly 1″ (2.5 cm) in diameter. Immediately decorate with dried fruits and roasted nuts; allow to cool completely. Cover and keep in airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
