August 10, 2020

Matcha in the mornings. It's a given, right? So it's only natural you'd crave our illustrator BFF Artjaden's twist on a favorite: cinnamon rolls with Mizuba Matcha lavender icing!

Inspired by Artjaden's all-time favorite Mizuba drink from Good Coffee, in Portland, Oregon, the lavender matcha latte, she put together this easy to follow matcha lavender icing recipe and just amped it up a little with her favorite flavors. Enjoy!

Step 1: Matcha Lavender Simple Syrup

1 cup water

1 tablespoon fresh lavender blossoms

1 cup sugar

Combine all ingredients into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Pour the syrup into a small jar using a mesh strainer to remove the blossoms. Let cool.

Step 2: Make the icing!

1.5 cup confectioner's sugar

1.5 tablespoons melted butter

2 tablespoons coconut milk

2 teaspoons organic culinary Mizuba matcha

2 tablespoons (or to taste) lavender simple syrup

How-to: Mix all ingredients into a bowl, and stir until smooth! SO easy!

Spread the icing on cinnamon rolls, English muffins, pancakes or waffles. Enjoy your #MatchaMoment!
