Matcha Jelly (Green Tea Jelly)
Report
Matcha Jelly is a delicate green tea-flavored gelatin dessert made from powdered kanten, sugar, water, and matcha powder. The jelly sets firm yet tender, offering a subtly sweet taste with the distinctive earthiness of matcha, presented in cubes for easy serving.
Description
This recipe uses kanten powder, a vegetarian gelatin substitute derived from seaweed, combined with sugar and water heated until boiling and smooth. Separately, matcha powder is dissolved in hot water, then whisked into the kanten mixture to incorporate the green tea flavor uniformly. After pouring into a lined baking dish or individual glasses, the mixture is cooled and chilled until fully set. The resulting jelly is firm and translucent, with a fresh, slightly grassy matcha taste and mild sweetness.
Serve chilled and cut into cubes if prepared in a dish. This jelly can be enjoyed as a light, refreshing dessert, especially during warm weather or after a savory meal.

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar 50 grams
- 2 teaspoons powdered kanten 4 grams
- 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder, 4 grams

Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 centimeter) baking dish with parchment for easy removal or set aside 4 heat-safe individual serving glasses.
- In a small pot, whisk together the water, powdered kanten, and sugar over medium high heat.
