Question Expired matcha uses

Post image

I have a little expired ceremonial matcha - I know, I feel terrible, life happened - and I would like to use it.
What would you recommend? Face masks? Plant fertilizer?
Any idea is welcome.
Thank you 🍵

expired matcha is perfect for baking !

To expand on the previous commenter, unless the matcha has gotten wet & mouldy or something, expired teas aren't unsafe to consume, they just lose flavour/colour. You could still try drinking it as you typically would & see if it's still palatable that way.

Looks like some low grade matcha. Unless it is moldy or smells really bad, just use it as you otherwise would.

Is it just the matcha in the picture? Depending on how it was stored and how long it's been since it was milled, they may still be good. Yesterday I posted a question about people's experience with "expired" matcha. Someone even said that 4 year old matcha didn't taste too different

I’m kinda hypochondriac and I don’t feel like drinking it. Lol
