Green Tea (matcha) Macarons for Karen

A friend at work has been requesting these for months. I thought her birthday would be a good time to make them!

For the filling:
White chocolate ganache
Green tea (matcha) powder to taste, available from Japanese grocery stores
I found dissolving the green tea powder in the hot cream worked best.

Turkish Delight Macarons

The swirly pattern is made by adding powdered macaron colouring to the batter before putting the batter in the piping bag.

The filling is made by folding chopped turkish delight and some rosewater through a milk chocolate ganache.

Honeycomb Macarons

Filled with a milk chocolate ganache with crushed honeycomb folded through. The honeycomb melts into the ganache after a while, so you don't really get the crunch of the honeycomb.
