Recipe Notes

If you want them to be less bitter, wait for a day to eat them. They are going to lose a bit of the bright green colour, but the matcha will be partly absorbed and less pungent.

You can keep them in the frigde for a very long time and out of it for about a week or so. Make some ahaead and eat them whenever you need an energy boost.
