Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp matcha powder

• 2 cups coconut milk (full-fat for a creamy texture)

• 2 tbsp gelatin powder (for making into jelly)

• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

• ½ cup hot water

• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Matcha Mixture

• In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with ½ cup hot water until smooth and frothy.

• Let it sit while you prepare the jelly base.

2. Bloom the Gelatin 

• In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the ½ cup of hot water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to "bloom" – it will thicken and become slightly translucent. Expert Tip: For a smoother texture, ensure all gelatin granules are fully dissolved.

3.Heat the Coconut Milk and add your ingredients 

• In a saucepan over low-medium heat, add coconut milk.

• Do not let it boil; just warm it up.
  
  

• Now whisk in the matcha mixture, honey and bloomed gelatin (it should look like goop)

• Mix it around on low heat for 2-3 minutes until fully dissolved.

• Turn off the heat and whisk in vanilla extract.

4. Pour & Set

• Pour the mixture into a silicone mold, glass dish, or small bowls.

• Let it cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm. Do not freeze!

5. Serve & Enjoy!

• Slice into cubes or pop the jelly out of the molds.

• Enjoy as is, or serve with coconut flakes, fresh fruit, or an extra dusting of matcha!

Storage Tips:

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

• Do not freeze, as the texture may change.

Variations:

• Vegan Option: Substitute agar-agar for gelatin following package instructions.
• Flavor Boost: Experiment with adding other natural extracts like almond or rose water.
• Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preference.

Enjoy this beautiful and beneficial treat as a part of your daily wellness routine!
