Dissolve 15gr of green tea powder in about 15ml of water. Soak the gelatin sheets in water for about 15 minutes until soft, then remove and let them drain.

Add the 2 softened gelatin sheets into the pot, continue to add the prepared green tea powder mixture, and stir continuously until everything is dissolved; when the mixture is completely dissolved, turn off the heat.
Strain the cooked mixture through a sieve for a smoother texture; the pudding will be silkier.

- Matcha powder has a bright green color and a sweet after-bitter taste, unlike green tea powder, which has a dark green color, may be slightly yellowish, and has astringent bitter taste.
- You can buy matcha powder at baking ingredient stores, supermarkets, or on e-commerce websites.
