Latte of the Day
Cooked some strawberries over the stove on a low flame, got distracted and forgot to check on the cook. By accident, this resulted in a strawberry compote that caramelized and had a thicker viscosity.
I decided to mark the day with a thicker matcha latte, using ‘Boring’ (brand) barista quality Oat Milk, and 4 grams of Higashiyama-en Joen matcha (whisked thick) for good effect.
This matcha blend has good umami (marine notes) that pairs well with Oat milk and strawberry 🍓 compote. For anyone accustomed to Uji based matcha - Joen (produced in Nishio) has wakame/seaweed notes reminiscent of Uji based heritage brands. Delicious!
I made this grated egg bagel treat for supper last night. Hard Boiled 2 eggs , and then grated these eggs with the help of a finer gauge grater, over a thinly spread layer of Kewpie Mayo atop 1 half of a bagel. Salt and pepper to taste.
I suspect I’ll be attempting a redux tonight!
