I've been given some green tea powder and all the instructions on the packaging are in Chinese - at least I know it's genuine Chinese green tea powder! ! Anyone know the quantities for use? Enough to make a cup of green tea. Ultimately I'm planning to use it to make iced lemon green tea but in the meantime some directions would be helpful. Thanks.

Sorry, cant help - you could try one of the tea shops such as teatotal - I am sure they are online

I would say around teaspoon per cup ( try and see , trial and error and all that ) . Make sure the water you pour onto it is not just boiled - otherwise it will make your tea too bitter ( this is the same for all green teas according to my tea total tin ). The water needs to be a little bit cooler. Let steep for 2 mins , then pour - add more water if required . Hope this helps ! !

my understanding was that green tea powder was used as an ingredient for baking /ice cream/pasta etc. . sounds revolting for drinking. However I stand to be corrected and probably will be! ! Green tea icecream is really nice and that is all I have used GTP for.

Isn't that the green tea that they use for the tea ceremony in Japan? If that is the case, isn't it normally whisked into hot water? It's kind of frothy, not really that nice. But the ice cream/sorbet sounds nice.

The green tea powder makes great green tea icing for cakes! I use it on top of green tea cake or even chocolate cake. Just make icing as per usual & add 1 or 2 teaspoons of green tea for flavouring.
