White chocolate Green tea Brownies

Each time that someone sent a request, I really want to give him or she the recipe ^^, but it's not easy because I have to test the recipe first.
Testing and adapting recipe is one of my favourite hobby, it's fun to see how little change in the recipe can turn it into a new kind of sweet (or many times, disaster, haha). This time, it's Green tea brownie, that I'm playing with. I tried some of the recipe before but many of them turn out to be too sweet, and doesn't enough green tea flavour. This time, I didn't go for fudge brownie, as it needs a lot of white chocolate (and it will be too sweet, again), cake brownie is what I want. By melting the chocolate and butter together, then add the other ingredients, the method is the same as other brownie. But the thing that will make your brownie different is the green tea that you use. Lucky that I have one that I bought from Kyoto, it's so green in color and it has right amount of bitterness. If you have a chance to go to Japan, try buying the green tea that they use for cooking or making sweet (the same type that I use), and you will be able to create beautiful and delicious green tea flavour sweet  from your kitchen too ^^.
I choose Macadamia nut for this recipe because the white color of the nut goes well with the green base but you can use other kinds of nut, it depends on you. And try not to over bake the brownie or it will be too crumbly.
