The final, and probably the most important touch is definitely a creamy matcha frosting made with some powdered erythritol and matcha green tea powder. It’s the earthy tone of matcha that gives these donuts their unique and beautiful flavor you will love. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the frosting but that completely depends on your taste.
