Matcha is a powdered green tea that is mostly grown and produced in Japan. It is known to be rich in antioxidants and is used in recipes like matcha lattes, cakes and smoothies. Matcha and lemon flavour combo is pretty much – perfection! Lemons provide a zesty refreshing flavour to this cheesecake and as a bonus, it also contains vitamin C and aids digestion.
