Green tea tart with lychee – some exotic in winter

The green tea tart with lychee is perfect for the winter.

With the green tea tart there is plenty color in winter. Since no seasonal products have been processed, you can make it perfectly even during winter and the nice color can make forgotten for a moment the gray in front of the window.

For the covering you also have the opportunity to take something else. But I am want still somewhat exotic and have the tart topped with canned lychees. It’s quick and easy.

When shooting something funny happened, my Pacman tart trying to eat the Christmas balls. 🙂
