<span style="font-size: 15px;">This week,
we're sharing a recipe for delicious Double Chocolate Cupcakes with
Matcha Buttercream Frosting, the perfect way to have a sweet treat and
your antioxidants too! I have loved green tea for many years and even
tried several desserts with Matcha at local tea shops and bakeries. But
there is something extra special about Matcha Buttercream frosting ( I
admit I ate the leftover frosting by the spoonful). Matcha and Chocolate
go together like peanut butter and jelly,mac and cheese, you get the
idea.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><a href="http://www.whitecloudworldteas.com/green-teas/" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #036b74; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><img align="none" height="640" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/f72322f2f1/images/43f2615c-c629-4e5d-a936-bbb7e0dc1c94.jpg" style="border: 0px none; height: 640px; margin: 0px; outline: medium none; text-decoration: none; width: 640px;" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Not familiar with Matcha? Here are some basics:</span>
</span><br />
<div style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #524e48; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Traditionally
used in Japanese tea ceremonies, matcha is finely ground green tea of
the highest purity. You are drinking the tea leaves–not just steeping
them. This concentrates the taste, the caffeine and the health benefits.</span></div>
<div style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #524e48; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><u><strong>Benefits of eating and drinking Matcha</strong></u></span></div>
<div style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #524e48; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><strong></strong><strong>Energy</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #524e48; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Yes,
matcha does contain caffeine just like your cup of coffee (it offers
only slightly less than a cup of pour over). But unlike coffee, matcha
(and all green tea) also has the amino acid l-theanine. Scientists think
that this combo (caffeine + theanine) is what makes tea energizing,
without leaving you jittery.</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><strong>Stress reduction</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #524e48; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Matcha
not only gives you energy but it can help to improve concentration and
promote calm and relaxation at the same time. Grabbing a warm cup with a
friend can reduce your stress levels even further!</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><strong></strong><strong>Antioxidants</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #524e48; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Matcha
gets its rich emerald color from antioxidants–including chlorophyll and
epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg). These nutrition superheroes fight off
free radicals–beauty villains that cause premature aging and wrinkles,
and are created in reaction to lifestyle and environmental factors. Yes,
all green tea contains antioxidants, but because matcha is a
concentrated powder, it can contain up to 10 times the levels as a
regular cup of tea.</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><strong></strong><strong>Skin protection</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #524e48; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Besides
giving your skin hydration and antioxidants, matcha has the potential
to also protect your skin from damage by the sun. While it can’t replace
sunscreen, it may be able to help mitigate some of the harm those
wonderful rays can cause.</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><strong></strong><strong>Hydration</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #524e48; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;">Keeping
your body well-hydrated is essential for glowing skin and overall
wellness. But sipping on plain water all day gets boring. A matcha latte
is another way to stay hydrated. Sip water in between sips to stay even
more well-hydrated.<br />
<br />
So now that you know all about Matcha you are ready to start incorporating this healthy tea into your daily regimen.<br />

<ol class="instructions">
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">Preheat
the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners; set
aside. If you have a second muffin pan, line 4 more cups with liners, if
not, simply bake the first batch and then reuse the pan for the rest of
the batter. (We found that it fills 12 perfectly.)</li>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.</li>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, and coffee mixture until smooth.</li>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">Add
in half the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, then half the
buttermilk, mixing until smooth. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients
and buttermilk. Add in chocolate chips and stir until just combined.</li>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">Pour
batter into cupcake liners, filling about ⅔ of the way. Bake 18-20
minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove
from oven and let cool completely.</li>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">Make
frosting: in a small bowl, combine the matcha powder and milk and stir
until a smooth paste forms. It is important that you get rid of any
clumps as best you can. In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter until
smooth. Add in icing sugar and matcha mixture and beat until thickened.
Transfer to a piping bag and frost the fully cooled cupcakes. Top with
mini chocolate chips, if desired.<a href="http://www.whitecloudworldteas.com/green-teas/" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #036b74; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><img align="none" height="644" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/f72322f2f1/images/5f8f8ae2-ef73-4fc6-ac3d-ad67da323227.jpg" style="-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; border: 0; height: auto !important; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" width="579" /></a></li>
