Gluten Free Tea Macaroons


I am not really a fan of sweets, but I really enjoy these gluten free Matcha or Herbal Chai tea macaroons made with our teas.  And my guests at my tea house over the years have loved them.  With tips from chef friends, I have created likely the easiest macaroon recipe out there that even non-bakers can make.  I hope you enjoy them.
