Method: Preheat the oven 175 °C. Grease 12 muffin cups, or line them with paper muffin liners. Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, matcha and sugar together in a mixing bowl; set aside. Whisk together the egg, melted butter and milk in another bowl. Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture until just moistened. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, for about 25 minutes. Cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, and then remove to cool on a wire rack.

Boil gently for a minute, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator an hour. In a medium bowl, beat the cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. Whisk mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth. In a small bowl, combine coffee, rum and pepper mint tea. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and drizzle with coffee mixture. Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a 7x11 inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat layers and sprinkle with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until it sets.
