Seasoned popcorn often comes in types that embrace sweet, cheesy, spicy or salty flavors, but this recipe from David's Tea offers a more unusual combination than most conventional seasonings.
The recipe calls for some popcorn seasoning staples such as melted butter and salt to taste, but what sets this snack apart are interesting ingredients like cayenne pepper powder and the Matcha Matsu tea from David's Tea.
