Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Matcha green tea powder
• 1 packet Unflavored gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

Step 3

In a small separate bowl, sift the matcha green tea powder to remove any clumps, then whisk it with a few tablespoons of the heated cream mixture until smooth and lump-free.

Step 4

Stir the matcha mixture back into the saucepan with the cream mixture. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the green tea flavor.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it has completely dissolved. Ensure no lumps remain.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and stir to incorporate.

Step 7

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl with a spout to remove any remaining lumps or impurities.

Step 8

Pour the mixture evenly into 6 small serving glasses, ramekins, or molds.

Step 9

Allow the panna cotta to cool to room temperature, then cover each container with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Step 10

Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with a dusting of matcha powder, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
