Tea Infused Recipes for Pancake Day

Matcha-P.6

Happy Pancake Day!

Up your pancake game this year with these awesome tea infused pancake recipes. The gorgeous green stack is infused with our Ceremonial Matcha, the light and fluffy texture is enhanced by the fresh fruity flavour of the Matcha, that balances perfectly with the vanilla. An extra topping of yogurt and a drizzle of honey really make it such a treat.

The double infusion is a winner for Royal Earl Grey fans, we’ve infused the tea straight into the milk releasing all those fragrant bergamot flavours that are a great accompaniment to fresh blueberries. The tea-based coulis gives much more complex flavours than your usual syrups!
