Why, you may ask, would a person be so obsessed with variety that she needs 24 different teas in her cupboard? Well, perhaps for the same reason other women need dozens of pairs of impractical high heel shoes. A pair to match every dress, a tea to match every dish. You know what they say about variety.
Matcha Meringue Kisses
Printable Recipe
2 ounces powdered sugar
2 tablespoons matcha tea
2 ounces egg whites, at room temperature
2 ounces sugar
Preheat the oven to 175ºF. Sift together the powdered sugar and matcha. In a mixer fitted with a whip attachment, whip the egg whites on medium to soft peaks. With the motor running on high, gradually add the sugar. Continue to whip on high to stiff peaks. Gently fold the matcha mixture into the meringue. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip and pipe 1 ¼-inch kisses about an inch apart onto a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for an hour to an hour and 15 minutes, or until dry. Transfer kisses to a rack to cool.
Makes about 3 dozen. Kisses keep for several days in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place.

I love matcha! These look fantastic, what a good idea!
how cute! i'll have to try these!
Matcha is wonderful! Hehe, even I don't have that many teas in my collection! Was getting close at one point but then I moved and had to divide up what I would be taking. As long as I have a decent black tea, my gunpowder, something white/herbal for nighttime and some matcha (which I only ever use as an ingredient since I don't have a proper whisk), I'm happy. If I don't have my gunpowder in the morning I feel off all day!
Matcha meringue sounds so good!
They are super cute! I love that each one has it's own character, some more straight, some bent one way or the other...btw, love your tea collection!
I have matcha in my cupboard! I can make these! I'm so excited...thanks for sharing =)
matcha meringue kisses ...how delicious this is. I love the color of matcha on baked goods...beats any food coloring.
These kisses look so cute and yummy! Thanks for sharing your recipe :)
These are adorable! I love green tea.
I'm the same way!! I have an entire shelf devoted to teas. Love them. These came out so great. I love the green color.
Having worked at a tea store, I too understand the need for a large variety of tea. They are all so different and I can't just drink the same one every day!
Thank you for sharing!
I just made them, and I cranked up the oven too hot and burnt them; they are browned instead of the beautiful green you have. Not only that, I forgot which size you made so I made them in the normal Hershey kisses size - I got about 200 out of the recipe. (Haha!)
But the humid weather here in my country is really really detrimental to my meringue - the deflate so easily!
But anyway enough of my sob story. I love the pictures! They are so pretty.
lovelyloey,
Oh, no! I hope you have better luck next time!
First of all, I love your site. I came acrossed it off of foodbuzz.com!
Your site is incredible and these looks absolutely mouthwatering. I love meringues!
Thank you so much for sharing such amazing recipes
Thanks everyone!
Lovely kisses Lucy!
beautiful recipe! they must be sooo delicious...
Those are so cute, I wish I had some matcha!
wow these are insanely beautiful!
I'm so excited to try these! I was perusing the matcha tag in Foodgawker, and these look like the perfect green tea dessert. They'll also give me a reason to make matcha ice cream to use up the egg yolks.
Looks great! What is a good substitute for the sugar in this recipe?
Raven Lynnae.,
There is no substitute for the sugar if you want the same results.
