Matcha Green Tea Truffles

These matcha green tea truffles are as beautiful as they are delicious. Matcha green tea powder gives the truffles a light, delicate flavor and a beautiful light green color. We like to dust the tops with a little more matcha powder to increase the flavor and make a bold statement.
