MATCHA JELLY
Yield: Approximately 500 g, or ten 50 g portions
INGREDIENTS
Water: 450 g
Sugar: 40 g
Matcha powder: 6 g
Agar powder: 4 g
PREPARATION
Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl. Add approximately 30 g of the measured water and whisk until smooth, with no visible lumps.
Add the remaining water, sugar, and agar powder to a saucepan. Whisk thoroughly before heating.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, whisking continuously. Continue boiling for approximately 1 minute to fully activate the agar.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the prepared matcha mixture and whisk until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into a shallow container and allow it to cool slightly.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely set.
Cut the jelly into small cubes. Store refrigerated in a sealed container and use 50 g per drink.
DRINK PREPARATION
Add 50 g of matcha jelly to the bottom of the serving cup.
Fill the cup with ice, then add 300 g of soda water.
Mix the white peach jam and strawberry jam until evenly combined.
Slowly pour the fruit mixture over the soda water to create a layered effect.
Serve immediately with a wide straw or spoon so the matcha jelly can be enjoyed with the drink.
Note: This drink is served iced only and cannot be prepared hot.
