Matcha, the major industry trend, is here to stay! With benefits including a sustained energy boost, loads of antioxidants, a “calm-alertness” thanks to an amino acid called L-Theanine, increased metabolism, and a caffeine hit without the jittery after-effect, Matcha will be your go-to ingredient this fall and holiday season. Today’s guest-post recipe is courtesy of Carrington Farms.
Easy-to-Make Matcha S’mores Recipe
1 tablespoon Carrington Farms Matcha Tea Powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
pinch of salt
6 tablespoons water, divided use
2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Line a 9×5″ loaf pan with parchment paper, and spray cooking spray on top of the parchment paper, heavily. In a medium sauce pan, stir together the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 3 tablespoons of the water. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil without stirring.
Meanwhile, heat about a 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan or tea kettle. Sprinkle the matcha in the bottom of a small bowl, and pour 2 tablespoons of the near-boiling water on top. Whisk vigorously to dissolve the tea. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of water to a large bowl and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let sit for a few minutes without stirring. Slowly begin to pour it into the gelatin mixture while constantly beating with a hand mixer. Take this step slowly. Beat the mixture for a full 8-10 minutes. Beat in the Matcha-water mixture until combined.
Spread the mixture into the loaf pan. Let the mixture set uncovered for at least 3 hours.
When ready to cut, sprinkle the powdered sugar on a work surface. Dump the marshmallows out on the surface, and slice while dipping the knife in powdered sugar between cuts. Roll the entire marshmallow in the powdered sugar.
Store the marshmallows in an air-tight container at room temperature.

I too have never tried matcha tea, but my daughter-in-law loves it. I would like to try to make this recipe for her.
Sounds like a lot of work to make these Matcha Marshmallows. I have never tried Matcha tea before. I do like tea though. The green coloring is very pretty. I would like to try this recipe when I am all alone and can take my time making it. Thank You for sharing..
Although I like tea, I have to admit that I’ve never tried matcha. I’ve never made marshmallows from scratch, either, but I’ve been toying with the idea of making some to use as Christmas gifts. These matcha marshmallows might be a fun addition to a tin of holiday treats, with their green tint.
