Three years ago this August, I gave up caffeinated coffee.<\/p>\n

I still drink decaf coffee and I still drink tea, both black and green. However, I feel like a disgrace to my Seattle-bred espresso habit every time I order a decaf, soy milk caffe latte<\/em>. Yes, I\u2019m lactose-intolerant too.<\/p>\n

Then recently, my husband ordered himself an affogato<\/em> <\/a>(a scoop of vanilla ice cream drowned in espresso) while we were vacationing in Philadelphia. It seemed the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. The bitterness of the coffee was the perfect foil to the sweet ice cream and the caffeine gave him a much needed jolt after our heavy lunch. I was envious.<\/p>\n

Nori furikake adds a savory component to the sweet-bitter combination of green tea and gelato. Other suggested toppings: white chocolate shavings or cornflakes.<\/p><\/div>\n

A few weeks later I discovered an affogato of sorts, but this time made with matcha, that shockingly-green tea powder, the star of Japanese tea ceremonies and assorted wagashi<\/em><\/a>. Thank you Bon Appetit<\/em> <\/a>magazine!<\/p>\n

I tweaked the recipe a little and sprinkled a little nori furikake<\/em><\/a> (seaweed seasoning) on top. \u201cHuh?\u201d you might wonder. It\u2019s no more unconventional than a shower of Maldon salt over chocolate truffles. And trust me, it\u2019s delightful!<\/p>\n
