We can hear the footsteps of autumn approaching in New York. We still crave something refreshing, but we also want a rich and robust flavor. How about making this matcha kanten at home?
Ingredients
Serves 4
1 package (4 grams) agar agar powder
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup matcha green tea (made with 1 cup water and 2 tsp matcha powder)
Directions
Step 1: Put water in pot. Sprinkle agar agar powder and stir well to dissolve.
Step 2: Turn on heat and bring mixture to boil while stirring.
Step 3: Once water is boiling, lower heat and keep boiling for another minute, then add sugar.
Step 4: When sugar is dissolved, turn off heat and add matcha. Let sit for about 10 minutes to cool.
Step 5: Pour matcha-agar mixture into your favorite mold.
Step 6: Cool in refrigerator for at least half an hour. When agar is set, it’s ready to be served.
Tip: You can make the flavor stronger by adding more matcha powder.
We used matcha from Ippodo Tea New York ( www.ippodotea.com ).
We sourced the white plates from MTC Kitchen ( www.mtckitchen.com ).
