简易红豆刨冰

近来天气实在太热了，真的不想出门，只想呆在冷气房！

就让我来做一个简易抹茶红豆刨冰消消暑吧 *^_^*

Matcha Granita

1 tsp good quality matcha powder 
1 Tbsp fine sugar
300g boiling water

(Optional)
Azuki beans
kinako powder

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients in a small jug. Stir well & strain into a bowl.

2. Freeze for 2hrs. Then mix well, breaking up the crystals around the edge of the bowl & mixing them toward the center. Freeze for 1hr, then mix again.

3. Scratch up the granita with a fork & put in a small glass. 

4. Add azuki beans & sift some kinako powder over before serve. 
 

我也用了黄豆粉做刨冰，没想到味道比抹茶的更好吃呐！

Kinako Granita
(makes 2 glasses)

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp Kinako powder  
300g boiling water
Azuki beans
Kuromitsu

刨冰有很浓的黄豆粉味是我喜欢的。因为我用了日本罐装的红豆，所以Kinako Granita不须加糖。在淋上少许的日本黑蜜更能提升刨冰的层次感。哈哈。。。吃完之后，甜在嘴里，凉在心底。下回我一定要另加一球冰淇淋呐 =）

天然酵母鬆饼

天然酵母做出来的鬆饼味道真的不错，很喜欢它淡淡的酵母香。由于用了天然酵母，又加上没有鸡蛋的关系，所烘好的鬆饼颜色很浅。因此我把waffle maker调到4号让它上色。这款鬆饼很容易做，只是在面糊发酵的过程中须要多一点的耐心。鬆饼可以前一天先混合好,放冰箱密封冷藏發酵一夜，隔天要吃时，先回温再用waffle maker制做。

因为加入了全麦粉的原故，所以和一般用普通面粉/蛋糕粉的蛋糕体相比，是显得有一点粗糙, 不够细致。但是这个蛋糕还是很不错吃，蛮鬆软的。橙的味道十足, 又可以咬到脆脆的奇亚籽和香香的橙皮。我给这个蛋糕十个‘Like'。
