How to make Delicious and refreshing Matcha Jelly with true Matcha taste (updated!)

Simple is best. Perhaps one of the best deserts that can truly bring out the taste of quality Matcha may be the Matcha Jelly. Here we'll go through how to make this fantastic desert.


  • Steps:
    1. Prepare ingredients.
    2. Sift Matcha powder and mix with Granulated sugar & Agar.
    3. Add ingredients in step 2 into boiling water and slowly stir while brewing in medium heat for 2 minutes.
    4. Lower heat when white bubbles start to subside. Mix slowly for 1 more minute using a wood spatula until the bubbles are mostly gone.
    5. Prepare ice water.
    6. Pour ingredients in step 4 into a bowl and place it on the ice water to cool. Stir slowly in circular motion. Careful not to make bubbles.
    7. Once the bottom starts to thicken, move to refrigerator and cool for 2 hours.
  • Key Point!
    • Make sure the liquid in step 7 will start to thicken before putting into the refrigerator. This will prevent the Matcha Jelly to separate.
    • ALWAYS sift the Matcha powder.
    • Use good Matcha! The Aoarashi works really well. I've previously used some Unkaku as well - which ended up with exceptional taste.
