New Year’s Eve is just around the corner and at Kenko Tea we’re getting ready to celebrate in style.
To make the very last week of 2015 a delicious one, we’ve got a fabulous and festive dessert recipe by the amazing Anthony aka the Jolly Eater: Mini Matcha Green Tea Cheesecake!
Anthony is a home cook from Perth, Western Australia who had gastric sleeve surgery two years ago. This sparked his passion for healthy and delicious food, and together with his wife Michelle from @athomebarista, he creates recipes that are good for the waistline and the tongue!
