After going to Holland Park, I felt like making some Japanse wagashi.
Wagashi is traditional Japanese confectionary, many made of glutinous rice & azuki bean paste.
Earlier in April, I salt-pickled some cherry blossoms & I haven't been using them yet.
I did try making cherry blossom tea, I think the taste was somehow disappointing, not as elegant as I thought.
But it was a pleasure to see the flower blossoming in the water.
Also, the flowers will be great for cake decorating.
