Lovely! Used 1/4 teaspoon ginger along with the green tea. Made in my rice cooker topped with Recipe #393464. Thanks!

I am a working artist with a continuing culinary practice in special recipe design- I like to make jams and jellies, salsa and pasta sauce from locally sourced or personally grown produce. At the local farmer's market my friend and I sell muffins we make and also seeds from Seed Savers Exchange, which takes seriously the preservation and protection of heirloom varieties from around the world. I have self-published a children's book I illustrated and am
working on a followup book with the author that continues the story of "Sophie, Circus Mouse", the first title.
The illustration above is one I created for a local orchard's street sign.
