It took me a while to perfect this recipe. Sorry for the delay. But now it's good. It's really good.
Probably not the MOST NUTRITIOUS way to get your antioxidants. Definitely the tastiest. If you like green tea candy, mochi, and green tea ice cream, these are a must. No, the color has not been enhanced. All NATURAL.
