5.5 of 7: Matcha Madness
My air conditioner actually stopped working a few weeks ago. Which is why I've been complaining about the weather (again) so much. I love sunshine and don't mind the heat, but the humidity, oh my god...
The upside is that I've been really enjoying going out to grab a cold beverage, whereas I usually get coffee because I'm cold from all the air conditioning. And the Japanese part of me is loving all the matcha-inspired ones. Because the ultimate summer sweet for me is ujikintoki, or shaved ice with green tea and syrup, and as an acquaintance was saying a few weeks ago, the weather we've been getting around here really does remind one of the hot sticky summer days in Japan. Might as well pretend I'm there while I'm at it.
