\"ViaAs you all know by now, I am a huge fan of the VIA category. This year, Starbucks Japan has released a Via matcha essence, which like the other products in the Via category, instant. Just add milk or water, and you have a matcha green tea latte in a flash!<\/p>\n

I’ve been really obsessed with donuts lately (I usually am) A new donut shop opened in the area, with these massive donuts covered in bacon, and all kinds of other off the wall toppings. I decided I “had to” buy a donut pan to make donuts, because baked donuts are better for you \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The idea of green donuts might be kind of off putting, so I wanted to jazz them up with a white chocolate glaze, reminiscent of a cherry blossom.<\/p>\n

Since this product has not been released in the United States, it might be difficult to find. Fret not, Teavana has a similar product that you can use in place of the Via essence. Imperial matcha sticks<\/a>. These are sold at all Teavana stores, and online and contain 100% USDA organic matcha. (no sugar!!) There is also a chai matcha<\/a> flavor, which would also be quite delicious! If you don’t want to use an instant matcha, you can use regular matcha powder too, only decrease the amount used to only 1\/2 a teaspoon.<\/p>\n
