Green Tea Raisin Loaf






















I have always loved anything that has green tea in it. Be it ice cream, bread or chocolates, i love them all! Most of the time though, when we eat green tea ice cream or green tea loaves, we can hardly taste the flavour of the green tea as it is mainly made from colouring and artificial flavours. So naturally, I decided to try my hands on this favourite ingredient of mine.. with real green tea powder!  Today, I am going to share with you how to make a green tea loaf with raisins in between (You can alternatively use red bean paste instead of raisins). It is absolutely delicious and have made this many times for my family. Everyone around me has been asking for the recipe so I decided to put it up on my blog. Cheers! :)
